Exploring Listeners’ Speech Rate Preferences [PDF]
Interspeech 2020, 2020 Fast speech may reduce intelligibility, but there is little agree-ment as to whether listeners benefit from slower speech in noisyconditions. The current study explored the relationship betweenspeech rate and masker properties using a listening preferencetechnique in which participants were able to control speech ratein real time.

An analysis of speech rate strategies in aging [PDF]
Interspeech 2009, 2009 Effects of age and speech rate on movement cycle duration were assessed using electromagnetic articulography. In a repetitive task syllables were articulated at eight rates, obtained by metronome and self-pacing. Results indicate that increased speech rate is associated with increasing movement cycle duration stability, while decreased rate leads to a ...
