A Comparison Of Listener And Speaker Perception Of Stuttering Events, Anne Jocelyn Schagen
A Comparison Of Listener And Speaker Perception Of Stuttering Events, Anne Jocelyn Schagen
Dissertations and Theses
Stuttering identification, measurement, research, and treatment have for many years had their basis in listener judgment of stuttering, but the covert aspects of stuttering are not behaviorally observable, and inter-rater reliability has repeatedly been shown to be low. Perkins (1990) has emphasized the importance of consulting the speaker for the most reliable perspective on stuttering identification. The question raised in this study is whether there is a significant correlation between stuttering identification based upon internal perception by a speaker who stutters, and identification based upon external perception of listeners, with points of inter-rater disagreement removed. Six adult males, aged 18 …
A Comparison Of Speech Onset Latencies Between Persons Who Stutter And Persons Who Do Not Stutter Across Varied Phonological Priming Conditions, Brian Joseff Riffel
A Comparison Of Speech Onset Latencies Between Persons Who Stutter And Persons Who Do Not Stutter Across Varied Phonological Priming Conditions, Brian Joseff Riffel
Dissertations and Theses
A recent theory of stuttering, the "Covert Repair Hypothesis of Disfluencies" (Kolk & Postma, in press; Postma & Kolk, 1992, 1993), accounts for the difference between persons who stutter (PWS) and persons who do not stutter (PWNS) by concluding that PWS are slower than PWNS in their phonological encoding abilities. This belief is supported through experimental studies by Bosshardt (1990) and Postma et al (1990), both of which found PWS to be slower than PWNS in silent reading tasks. In addition, Wijnen and Boers (1994) found that PWS demonstrate longer speech onset latencies than PWNS at baseline, but then approximate …
