摘要：Implicit phoneme manipulation is an intervention that has been successful in improving verbal output in individuals with apraxia of speech (AOS) with aphasia (Davis, Farias, & Baynes, 2009). This method relies on the inner monitoring of speech. This monitoring operates on the pre-articulatory representation of the utterance and has access to phonological representations being constructed in production such as the phonetic plan, phonemes and metrical information where the breakdown in AOS is thought to occur. During implicit phoneme manipulation, we hypothesized that regions known to support motor planning and programming such as ventral premotor cortex, the posterior inferior frontal gyms, and the anterior insula are activated.
