(2) This may be interpreted as support for Kent's (1983) hypothesis that stutterers may be poorer at temporal processing.

(4) Contrary to Taylor (1966) there were significant correlations between stuttering and grammatical class even when initial phoneme and word in sentence were held constant.
(5) In a control condition, eight stutterers read one of two matched passages aloud five times in succession.
(6) The consistency with which stuttering tends to occur on the same words in successive readings of a passage, though high enough to warrant the assumption that stuttering is a response to stimuli, is generally far from perfect.
