Utjecaj ponavljanja zadatka na brzinu govorne izvedbe . (Croatian)

The influence of task repetition on performance rate. (English)

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of repeating a cognitively less demanding and highly structured task on speech and articulation rate. Speech rate as a temporal speech variable indirectly points to the degree of the speakers’ control over their linguistic knowledge as well as the overall efficiency and automation of all mechanisms involved in speech production. The study included 33 participants with high grades on the English language test at the higher level of the state matura. The chosen task included story formation based on visual images and the repetition of the same story to the listener. The temporal variables included in the study were measured in the speech analysis program Praat. The results indicate that only the speech rate is significantly higher in the repeated task. The results can be explained by the reduced requirements at the conceptualization level and by the existence of strong links among all levels of speech production, which have a high degree of activation due to the first performance of the speech task. It follows that, regardless of the good state matura results and the fact that the task is cognitively less demanding and highly structured, task repetition is a beneficial activity influencing the automation of the speech production mechanisms as well as the speech rate.

Cilj je ovoga rada ispitati utjecaj ponavljanja kognitivno manje zahtjevnoga i vrlo strukturiranoga zadatka na brzinu govora i brzinu artikulacije na uzorku ispitanika s položenom višom razinom Engleskoga jezika na državnoj maturi. Brzina govora kao vremenska varijabla govorne izvedbe neizravno upućuje na stupanj govornikove kontrole nad lingvističkim znanjem te na sveukupnu učinkovitost i automatizaciju svih mehanizama uključenih u proizvodnju govora. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 33 ispitanika koja su ostvarila visok postotak na višoj razini državne mature iz Engleskoga jezika. Zadatak je bio osmisliti i oblikovati priču na temelju slikovnih prikaza te je ponoviti sugovorniku. Razmatrane vremenske varijable izmjerene su u programu za analizu govora Praat. Zaključuje se da je brzina govora značajno veća u ponovljenome zadatku u odnosu na brzinu artikulacije kod koje nije ustanovljena značajna razlika. Rezultati se mogu objasniti umanjenim procesnim zahtjevima na razini oblikovanja makroplana te znatnim utjecajem prve izvedbe na ostale razine govorne proizvodnje. Slijedi da je, bez obzira na dobre rezultate državne mature i činjenicu da je zadatak kognitivno manje zahtjevan i vrlo strukturiran, ponavljanje zadatka aktivnost koja pozitivno djeluje na automatizaciju govornih mehanizama te posljedično na brzinu govora.
