Results suggest that unison production works via entrainment-a process that utilizes prediction to guide synchronous production of spoken output. Metrically regular stimuli may facilitate this process as they are more rhythmically predictable. Future work will examine key behavioral variables that predict benefit from unison production and metrical timing.
