Clustering of Disfluencies in the Speech of Stuttering and Nonstuttering Preschool Children.

Hubbard, Carol P.; Yairi, Ehud

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v31 n2 p228-33 Jun 1988

Cluster formation in speech disfluencies of 15 preschool stuttering children and 15 nonstuttering controls was studied and compared. Clustering was found to be a significant factor in disfluent speech for both normal and stuttering children, but proportions of clustered disfluencies and size of clusters were significantly greater in the stutterers' speech.
