Jackson, Eric S.; Gracco, Vincent; Zebrowski, Patricia M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The contextual variability of stuttering events makes it difficult to reliably elicit stuttered speech in laboratory settings. As a result, studies that compare stuttered versus fluent speech are difficult to conduct and, thus, are limited in the literature. The purpose of the current study is to describe a novel approach to elicit…
