Effectss of Gradual Increases in Sentence Length and Complexity on Children's Dysfluency.

Ratner, Nan Bernstein; Sih, Catherine Costa

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v52 n3 p278-87 Aug 1987

Systematic evaluation of the task demands of changes in utterance length and complexity among stuttering (N=8) and nonstuttering (N=8) three- through six-year-olds revealed that fluency breakdown was significantly correlated with gradual increases in syntactic complexity for both stuttering and nonstuttering children, as was sentence replication ability.
