Fundamental frequency in the speech of infants and children.
Fundamental frequency ranges of six normal infants and children from 33 to 169 weeks were determined by narrow-band spectrographic analysis. Fundamental frequency values ranged from 30 to 2500 Hz, well outside the values reported in previous studies of noncry utterances. The use of fry, modal, and high registers is also discussed.
