Abstract

Vocal fold contact behavior was examined in separate groups of boys and girls through application of an electroglottograph (EGG). In general, a contact quotient (EGG duty cycle) showed minimal differences within and between boys and girls during sustained production of the vowels /i/, /u/, and /a/. The findings are discussed with respect to the laryngeal behavior of prepubescent children as well as the clinical utility and applicability of the EGG for examining phonatory behavior among young children.
