Alternating motion rate (AMR)
Target syllables Correct imitation (+) Incorrect production Comments
Note substitutions
present (-)
/pʌpʌpʌ/
/tʌtʌtʌ/
/kʌkʌkʌ/ *
Sequential motion rate (SMR)
Target syllables Correct imitation (+) Incorrect imitation (-) Comments
Transcribed using IPA
/pʌtə/
/pʌtəkə/
*Note: SMRs are a better indicator for the presence of CAS since children with CAS exhibit more
difficulties using those measures.
