Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: To examine whether nasal breathing influences the perception of sound causing trade between hard and soft consonants in the writing of children in school age and the incidence of trade.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To achieve the above goal explained, it was used:

Methods: The sample was consisted of 200 children, 100 previously diagnosed with oronasal breath (51 females and 49 males) who participated in the study group and 100 nasal breathers (54 females and 46 males) which were the control group. 36 words were dictated as minimal pairs to be written. Then a story was submitted in sequence of six figures from which the subjects produced a text.
