Neurophysiological changes in the brain associated with early dementia can disrupt articulatory timing and precision in speech production. Motivated by this observation, we address the hypothesis that speaking rate and articulatory coordination, as manifested through formant frequency tracks, can predict performance on an animal fluency task administerd to the elderly. Specifically, using phone...
