Relations Of Stuttering In Spontaneous Speech To Speech Content And Verbal Output

Abstract

16 stutterers in responses to 6 pairs of questions spoke a total of 25,326 words, stuttering for 2408 seconds. When speaking of parents there was an increase in the severity of stuttering although the difference was not mathematically significant. The relation between the number of words spoken and the severity of stuttering is a highly stable one. Stuttering does not inhibit verbal output.
