Peer reviewedZebrowski, Patricia M.; Conture, Edward G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1989
The study comparing perceptual judgments of speech disfluency by 20 mothers of either stuttering or normally fluent children found no appreciable differences between groups in their judgments. Both groups of mothers most frequently judged sound/syllable repetitions to be stuttered, followed by whole-word repetitions and broken words. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedLaSalle, Lisa R.; Conture, Edward G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1995
This study examined speech disfluency clusters in the speech of 60 3- to 6-year-old children, half of whom stuttered. Results indicated that the children who stuttered produced significantly more "stuttering-stuttering" clusters and significantly more "stuttering-repair" clusters, whereas nonstutterers never produced "stuttering-stuttering"…

Peer reviewedYaruss, J. Scott; Conture, Edward G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
Sound/syllable repetitions of 13 young children who stutter were acoustically analyzed to identify differences in second formant (F2) transitions between the stuttered and nonstuttered portions of the words. Findings indicated no significant differences in the frequency of occurrence of missing or atypical F2 transitions for young children at…

Peer reviewedLogan, Kenneth J.; Conture, Edward G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1997
Clause, syllable, and response latency characteristics of conversational utterances were assessed in 14 boys who stuttered and 14 normally fluent boys. Findings suggest that changes in the number of clausal constituents that must be constructed, stored, or coordinated within an utterance may influence the likelihood of speech errors and, hence,…

Peer reviewedConture, Edward G.; Kelly, Ellen M. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1991
This study assessed the nonspeech behaviors associated with young stutterers (n=30, mean age 54 months) and normally fluent children's comparable fluent utterances. Findings suggested that children can be classified as stutterers on the basis of their nonspeech behaviors, which may reflect cognitive, emotional, linguistic, and physical events…

Peer reviewedYaruss, J. Scott; Conture, Edward G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1996
Comparison of the speech fluency and phonology of 18 boys (mean age 61 months) who stuttered and demonstrated either normal or disordered phonology found that the two groups were generally similar in terms of their basic speech disfluency, nonsystematic speech error, and self-repair behaviors. Predictions of the covert repair hypothesis of…
