Read our Parkinson's Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand why people with Parkinson's disease have such different speech challenges and why some respond better to speech therapy than others. This study will have you complete speech recording and listening tasks to explore whether difficulty hearing or learning speech patterns (like speed and volume) might explain differences in how people with Parkinson's produce speech.
Speech therapy helps many people with Parkinson's disease, but some benefit much more than others. Doctors don't fully understand why these differences exist. This study aims to fill that gap by examining whether problems with listening to and learning from others' speech might explain why some people struggle more with their own speech production.

You will record a speech sample and complete several listening and learning tasks that focus on detecting and learning changes in speech speed and volume. These activities involve listening to speech examples and practicing to recognize subtle differences. The study uses behavioral exercises to test how well you can learn these speech patterns and relates your results to how your own speech is affected by Parkinson's disease.
