2022, Journal of Experimental Child PsychologyCitation Excerpt :Although there is a broad consensus that children’s speech rate continues to develop until approximately 13 years of age, the rate of increase does not appear to be linear. Many factors have been proposed to contribute to speech rate development (Locke, 1997; Tendera et al., 2019). For example, Tendera et al. (2019) proposed that speech rate development is the result of the composition of many elements, including neurolinguistic development of morphology and syntax, grammatical development, maturation of speech articulation skills and kinematic systems, and increases in cognitive capacity.
