Influence of Sensory Monitoring on Speech Breathing Planning Processes: An Exploratory Study in Aging Speakers Reporting Dyspnea.

Results suggest that respiratory planning processes, that is, the ability to plan breath intakes based on the length of upcoming utterances, may be modifiable behaviorally through targeted sensory monitoring. Further studies are warranted to validate the proposed role of respiratory sensation awareness in achieving skilled temporal coordination between voicing and breathing.
