Adaptation of Stuttering Frequency during Repeated Readings: Associated Changes in Acoustic Parameters of Perceptually Fluent Speech.

Max, Ludo; Caruso, Anthony J.

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v41 n6 p1265-81 Dec 1998

A study of eight Dutch individuals (ages 14 to 56) who stutter found that adaptation of stuttering frequency during repeated readings may be a result of motor learning. Furthermore, during repeated readings, reductions in stuttering frequency were not related to reductions in the variability of acoustically derived measures of speech production. (CR)
