Helmreich, Helaine Gewirtz; Bloodstein, Oliver – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1973
The relationship between grammatical function and disfluency was investigated in 15 normal-speaking children aged 3 years 11 months to 4 years 10 months. (Author)

Early Stutterings: Some Aspects of Their Form and Distribution.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloodstein, Oliver; Gorssman, Marcia – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1981
The speech of five stutterers ranging in age from 3 years, 10 months to 5 years, 7 months was analyzed to determine the types of loci of stutterings. The results related to the hypothesis that early stuttering represents mainly a type of difficulty in either the formulaton or the execution of syntactic units. (Author)

Effect of Adjacency on the Distribution of New Stutterings in Two Successive Readings
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wong, Catherine Y. Y.; Bloodstein, Oliver – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1977
Studied with 10 Ss (ages 5-10 years) receiving speech therapy for stuttering were the reasons why some words were abruptly stuttered for the first time in the course of successive readings and the kinds of stimuli that play a role in stuttering. (Author/MH)

The Anticipatory Struggle Hypothesis: Implications of Research on the Variability of Stuttering
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloodstein, Oliver – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1972
The hypothesis that a person stutters because he believes in the difficulty of speech, anticipates failure, and struggles to avoid it, is said to be consistent with experimental findings on the metronome effect, the adaptation effect, the effects of white noise and delayed auditory feedback, and operant control of stuttering.

On Pluttering, Skivering, and Floggering: A Commentary.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloodstein, Oliver – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1990
The commentary to EC 232 373 and EC 232 374 discusses whether stuttering is really what the listener perceives, the stutterer senses, or the dictionary states. It concludes that stuttering can probably be defined in appropriate contexts as any or all of these three things. (JDD)

Stuttering and Normal Nonfluency--A Continuity Hypothesis
Bloodstein, Oliver – Brit J Disor Commun, 1970
Presents evidence suggesting that the difference between stuttering and normal nonfluency in young children is one of degree only. It hypothesizes that heavy pressure on the child to speak well increases nonfluency. Bibliography. (RW)

A Handbook on Stuttering.
Bloodstein, Oliver – 1969
Designed for students, clinicians, and research workers in speech pathology, the text attempts to reiterate and discuss research into the etiology, incidence, and treatment of stuttering. Areas of consideration are the symptomatology of stuttering, current theories of the origin of stuttering, its incidence, the personality and physical factors in…
