Trautman, Lisa Scott; Healey, E. Charles; Brown, Tricia A.; Brown, Penny; Jermano, Shawnna – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1999
A study tested the differences between eight children (ages 6 through 11) who stutter and typical children on measures of narrative complexity and cohesion use in two narrative tasks and in stuttering frequency produced across tasks. No significant differences were found on measures of narrative complexity or cohesion use. (Author/CR)

Yairi, Ehud; Ambrose, Nicoline Grinager – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
A four-year study of 84 preschool children (25 to 59 months) who stutter found a continuous diminution in the frequency and severity of stuttering over time as many children progressed toward recovery. Findings indicate a 74% overall recovery rate for stuttering and a 26% persistency rate. (CR)

Cordes, Anne K.; Ingham, Roger J. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1996
Ten speech-language pathology students judged five-second audiovisually recorded speech intervals as stuttered or nonstuttered in group and single-subject experiments. Results showed that judgment accuracy tended to increase after training, both for speakers used during the training process and unfamiliar speakers. Slight increases in interjudge…

Van Borsel, John; Taillieu, Caroline – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2001
A panel of speech professionals was randomly presented with speech samples from four neurogenic and four developmental stutterers and was asked to classify them accordingly without any patient knowledge. Results support the view that, based on the patient's verbal output only, it is difficult to distinguish between neurogenic and developmental…

Freeman, Kurt A.; Friman, Patrick C. – Behavior Modification, 2004
Simplified regulated breathing (SRB) has been demonstrated to reduce or eliminate stuttering in children. However, much of the current research has evaluated the intervention with school-aged children within educational contexts. In the current case report, we extended the application of SRB by evaluating its effectiveness in treating stuttering…

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…

Ingham, Roger J.; Finn, Patrick; Bothe, Anne K. – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2005
In light of emerging findings concerning untreated recovery and neural plasticity, this paper re-examines the viability of an NIH conference recommendation [Cooper, J. A. (1990). Research directions in stuttering: Consensus and conflict. In Cooper, J. A. (Ed.), "Research needs in stuttering: Roadblocks and future directions" (pp. 98-100).…

Neumann, Katrin; Preibisch, Christine; Euler, Harald A.; von Gudenberg, Alexander Wolff; Lanfermann, Heinrich; Gall, Volker; Giraud, Anne-Lise – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2005
Neuroimaging studies have indicated that persistent developmental stuttering (PDS) may be associated both with an abnormality in white matter of left-hemispheric speech areas and a right-hemispheric hyperactivity. The latter may compensate for the deficient structural connectivity in the left hemisphere. To investigate the effects of stuttering…

Bramlett, Robin E.; Bothe, Anne K.; Franic, Duska M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether standard pharmaco-economic preference methods can be used to assess perceived quality of life in stuttering. Method: Seventy-five nonstuttering adults completed a standardized face-to-face interview that included a rating scale, standard gamble, and time trade-off preference measures for…

Ryan, Bruce P. – Behavior Analyst Today, 2004
This is a review of the contingency management literature and current related treatment programs for stuttering in childhood: the Lidcombe Program, Gradual Increase in Length and Complexity of Utterance (GILCU), and Prolongation (PS). Treatment efficacy research has shown these treatments to be effective and efficient for children, but there…

McDowell, Thomas, Comp.; Sharbaugh, Marilyn, Comp. – 1973
Provided is a program of behavioral objectives for use with speech handicapped preschool and elementary level children in the areas of articulation disorders, language disorders, stuttering, tongue thrust, and voice. Communication disorders are defined as substandard behaviors which interfere with the student's ability to perform acceptably for…

Hasbrouck, Jon M.; And Others – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1987
Fifteen stutterers (aged 5-16) were treated using graded airflow, tension/relaxation, and electromyographic biofeedback to reduce stuttering frequency. In a second study, addition of a discriminative stimulus control procedure to maintain fluency made the treatment program more effective than the first study and achieved a level of <1% stuttered…
