The time course of self-monitoring within words and utterances.

Abstract

The within-word and within-utterance time course of internal and external self-monitoring is investigated in a four-word tongue twister experiment eliciting interactional word initial and word medial segmental errors and their repairs. It is found that detection rate for both internal and external self-monitoring decreases from early to late both within words and within utterances. Also, offset-to-repair times are more often of 0 ms in initial than in medial consonants.
