Editorial: Plus Ça change: Selected papers on speech research from the 1964 issue of the Cleft Palate Journal

Abstract

This review is part of a series of papers by the editorial board reflecting on the 1964 volume of the journal, thereby marking the 50th anniversary of the Cleft-Palate Craniofacial Journal. Twelve speech-related contributions from that year are reviewed. The papers are sorted into four broad thematic categories: quantitative assessment of hypernasality, perceptual assessment of speech, radiological imaging of velopharyngeal function, and speech prosthetics. The 1964 contributions are discussed with regards to their relevance to today's research and clinical practice. © Copyright 2014 American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association.
