Comparison of Period-by-Period Fundamental Frequency of Stutterers and Nonstutterers over Repeated Utterances.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sacco, Pat Richard; Metz, Dale Evan – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1989
The study found that stutterers (N=10) were significantly more variable than nonstutterers in their ability to achieve stable fundamental frequency diminution patterns in vowels immediately following stop consonants. Stutterers were not significantly different from the nonstutterers in their ability to achieve a stable fundamental frequency over…

Acoustic and Psychophysical Dimensions of the Perceived Speech Naturalness of Nonstutterers and Posttreatment Stutterers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Metz, Dale Evan; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1990
The study of 35 posttreatment stutterers found that magnitude estimation and interval scaling were both valid procedures for measuring speech naturalness. Speech of nonstutterers was judged more natural than speech of treated stutterers. The acoustic parameters most highly correlated with speech naturalness were voice onset time measure and…
