Eggers, Kurt; De Nil, Luc F.; Van den Bergh, Bea R. H. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2013
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether previously reported parental questionnaire-based differences in inhibitory control (IC; Eggers, De Nil, & Van den Bergh, 2010) would be supported by direct measurement of IC using a computer task. Method: Participants were 30 children who stutter (CWS; mean age = 7;05 years) and 30…

Sasisekaran, Jayanthi; Brady, Alison; Stein, Jillian – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2013
Purpose: The present study investigated phonological encoding skills in children who stutter (CWS) and those who do not (CNS). Participants were 9 CWS (M=11.8 years, SD=1.5) and 9 age and sex matched CNS (M=11.8 years, SD=1.5). Method: Participants monitored target phonemes located at syllable onsets and offsets of bisyllabic words. Performance in…

Hennessey, Neville W.; Nang, Charn Y.; Beilby, Janet M. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2008
Linguistic encoding deficits in people who stutter (PWS, n = 18) were investigated using auditory priming during picture naming and word vs. non-word comparisons during choice and simple verbal reaction time (RT) tasks. During picture naming, PWS did not differ significantly from normally fluent speakers (n = 18) in the magnitude of inhibition of…

Hartfield, Kia N.; Conture, Edward G. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2006
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of conceptual and perceptual properties of words on the speed and accuracy of lexical retrieval of children who do (CWS) and do not stutter (CWNS) during a picture-naming task. Participants consisted of 13 3-5-year-old CWS and the same number of CWNS. All participants had speech, language,…

Smits-Bandstra, Sarah; De Nil, Luc; Saint-Cyr, Jean A. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2006
Two studies compared the speech and nonspeech sequence skill learning of nine persons who stutter (PWS) and nine matched fluent speakers (PNS). Sequence skill learning was defined as a continuing process of stable improvement in speed and/or accuracy of sequencing performance over practice and was measured by comparing PWS's and PNS's performance…

Sasisekaran, Jayanthi; De Nil, Luc F. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2006
The present study investigated phonological encoding skills in persons who stutter (PWS). Participants were 10 PWS (M=31.8 years, S.D.=5.9) matched for age, gender, and handedness with 12 persons who do not stutter (PNS) (M=24.3 years, S.D.=4.3). The groups were compared in a phoneme monitoring task performed during silent picture naming. The…

Huinck, Wendy J.; van Lieshout, Pascal H. H. M.; Peters, Herman F. M.; Hulstijn, Wouter – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2004
This study was designed to investigate if persons who stutter differ from persons who do not stutter in the coproduction of different types of consonant clusters, as measured in the number of dysfluencies and incorrect speech productions, in speech reaction times and in word durations. Based on the Gestural Phonology Model of Browman and…

Sasisekaran, Jayanthi; De Nil, Luc F.; Smyth, Ron; Johnson, Carla – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2006
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of phonological encoding in the silent speech of persons who stutter (PWS) and persons who do not stutter (PNS). Participants were 10 PWS (M=30.4 years, S.D.=7.8), matched in age, gender, and handedness with 11 PNS (M=30.1 years, S.D.=7.8). Each participant performed five tasks: a…

Arnold, Hayley S.; Conture, Edward G.; Ohde, Ralph N. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2005
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of phonological neighborhood density on the speech reaction time (SRT) and errors of children who do and do not stutter during a picture-naming task. Participants were nine 3-5-year-old children who stutter (CWS) matched in age and gender to nine children who do not stutter (CWNS). Initial…
