48
For example, “A-a-ari-zo-zo-zo-na” will be counted as one word, although it contains two instances of stuttering.
percentage of stuttered words
49
to obtain a score of precentage of stuttered words, follow these steps:
1.Count the number of words in the speech sample. 2. Determine for each word whether it was stuttered. Count these words. 3. Determine for each word whether it was stuttered. Count these words.
50
To obtain a score follow these steps: Count the ________ in the speech sample. Determine for each word whether it was ______. Count these words. Calculate the ____ of stuttered words in the total number or words.
number of words; stuttered; percentage
51
example of percentage of stuttered words: In a 453 word sample, 27 words were judged to be stuttered. calculate actual percentage
divide 27 by 453; next multiply by 100= 5.96%
52
This metric includes all stuttering events occurring in each word.
frequency of stuttering per 100 words
53
This measure provides more precise information.
frequency of stuttering per 100 words
54
For example, “A-a-ari-zo-zo-zo-na” is counted as two events. this is an example of ______

83
how to obtain articulatory rate
Count the number of spoken syllables in each utterance. Measure the duration of the utterance 3 times and find the average duration for each of the utterances. Find the articulatory rate for each utterance by dividing the number of syllables by the time. Average the values from each utterance to arrive at the overall rate measure.
84
