Walsh, Bridget; Christ, Sharon; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how epidemiological and clinical factors collectively predict whether a preschooler who is stuttering will persist or recover and to provide guidance on how clinicians can use these factors to evaluate a child's risk for stuttering persistence. Method: We collected epidemiological and clinical…

Tumanova, Victoria; Zebrowski, Patricia M.; Throneburg, Rebecca N.; Kayikci, Mavis E. Kulak – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2011
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between articulation rate, frequency and duration of disfluencies of different types, and temperament in preschool children who stutter (CWS). In spontaneous speech samples from 19 CWS (mean age = 3:9; years:months), we measured articulation rate, the frequency and duration of (a) sound…

Chon, HeeCheong; Sawyer, Jean; Ambrose, Nicoline G. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2012
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of four types of utterances in preschool children who stutter: perceptually fluent, containing normal disfluencies (OD utterance), containing stuttering-like disfluencies (SLD utterance), and containing both normal and stuttering-like disfluencies (SLD+OD utterance).…

Howell, Peter; Anderson, Andrew J.; Bartrip, Jon; Bailey, Eleanor – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2009
Purpose: The spatiotemporal index (STI) is one measure of variability. As currently implemented, kinematic data are used, requiring equipment that cannot be used with some patient groups or in scanners. An experiment is reported that addressed whether STI can be extended to an audio measure of sound pressure of the speech envelope over time that…

Max, Ludo; Gracco, Vincent L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
This work investigated whether stuttering and nonstuttering adults differ in the coordination of oral and laryngeal movements during the production of perceptually fluent speech. This question was addressed by completing correlation analyses that extended previous acoustic studies by others as well as inferential analyses based on the…

Melnick, Kenneth S.; Conture, Edward G.; Ohde, Ralph N. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of phonological priming on the speech reaction time (SRT) of children who do (CWS) and who do not (CWNS) stutter during a picture-naming task. Participants were eighteen 3-5-year-old CWS (M = 50.67 months, SD= 11.83 months), matched in age and gender with 18 CWNS (M = 49.44 months, SD = 10.22…
