Abstract | The present study investigated the effects of self-controlled feedback paradigm on motor
learning of a relaxed phonation task. Twenty-four vocally healthy individuals were randomly
assigned into two groups: self-controlled feedback group (SELF) and clinician-controlled
feedback group (YOKED). The participants were instructed to read aloud sentence stimuli.
Surface electromyographic values (sEMG) measured at thyrohyoid site were provided as
biofeedback. The SELF group received sEMG biofeedback whenever they requested, and the
YOKED group received the same feedback schedule as chosen by their self-controlled
counterparts. Results revealed significant reduction of muscle tension across training sessions.
Generalization was shown to reading of untrained passage in both groups. However, the
results failed to demonstrate differences between the SELF and YOKED groups. It provided
no clear evidence to conclude the self-controlled feedback paradigm was beneficial to
learning of relaxed phonation. The guidance hypothesis might have accounted for the absence
of self-controlled learning effect in the study. |
