Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston University. / The problem of this study was to provide from objective pitch
measurements an answer to the question: What does a child do with his
vocal pitch in certain speaking and oral reading activities?
The purposes of the study were:
1, To locate in terms of fundamental frequencies the average
pitch levels used by children in speaking, in easy and difficult
reading, and in unaided recall of easy and difficult
reading.
2. To compare the mean vocal pitches of the five oral activities
noted above.
3. To report average pitch levels significantly related to differences
in sex, intelligence, grade placement, and educational
achievement for the groups studied.
