Second Formant Transitions in Fluent Speech of Persistent and Recovered Preschool Children Who Stutter.

Subramanian, Anu; Yairi, Ehud; Amir, Ofer

Journal of Communication Disorders, v36 n1 p59-75 Jan-Feb 2003

A study investigated frequency change and duration of the second formant (F2) transition in speech samples recorded close to stuttering onset in 10 preschoolers who stutter, 10 who recovered from stuttering, and 10 controls. Near stuttering onset, children whose stuttering persisted demonstrated significantly smaller frequency change than the recovery group. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
