Example Sentences:
(1) Results suggested that the parent variables that were significantly related to the child's primary stuttering were not the same as those significantly related to her secondary stuttering.
(2) This may be interpreted as support for Kent's (1983) hypothesis that stutterers may be poorer at temporal processing.
(3) The two experiments have replicated and extended, under different conditions, the earlier findings of a letter sequence transcription deficit in stutterers, but the nature of the interference still remains to be clarified.
(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.
(7) To contribute to the Geschwind-Galaburda theory of cerebral lateralization, we examined the relationship of left-handedness to allergic disorders and stuttering, using epidemiological data of two French samples, one of which (N = 9591) is representative of the French male population between 17 and 24 years of age.
(8) Much of the research dealing with linguistic dimensions in stuttering has emphasized the various aspects of grammar, particularly as these aspects contribute to the meaning of utterances.
(9) Stuttering affects 1% of the adult population, though 5% of children about the age of five develop the condition, with most growing out of it after childhood.
(10) Results support the conclusion that stuttering, seen on the symptomatic level of disfluencies produced, is a prosodic disturbance.
(11) These bipolar scales were derived from words previously judged by speech clinicians as descriptive of stutterers and antonyms of those words.

(13) This paper reviews the various approaches that have been made toward the investigation of speech quality in stuttering treatment.
(14) The results demonstrated predictable trends in speech naturalness during the program, but they also showed that natural sounding speech is not a predictable outcome of a procedure that removes stuttering, controls speaking rate, and exposes clients to transfer procedures.
(15) Finally, no difference was found in the posttreatment naturalness ratings of stutterers rated as mild, moderate, and severe before treatment.
(16) In this article, acoustic analyses are reported which show that the spectral properties of stuttered vowels are similar to the following fluent vowel, so it would appear that the stutterers are articulating the vowel appropriately.
(17) The original headline and first sentence suggested that the GM mice stuttered.
(18) In the present study, surface electrodes were used to describe the perioral reflexes in 7 stutterers and 5 nonstutterers.
(19) On two-dimensional gels, the faulty proteins were shown as a trail of spots with molecular weights similar to those of the authentic proteins but separated in the isoelectric focusing dimension, a phenomenon we call "stuttering."
