motor behaviors associated with stuttering - body movements, facial grimaces
1. escape
2. avoidance

23
Q

List escape behaviors.

A

hand and foot movements (tapping foot)
rapid eye blinking

24
Q

When do escape vs. avoidance behaviors occur?

A

Escape behaviors occur during the stutter, avoidance behaviors occur before the stutter

25
Q

List avoidance behaviors.

A

changing the word from a frequently stuttering sound or word
sending a text instead of calling

26
Q

What is the loci of stuttering?

A

the locations in a speech sequence where stuttering is typically observed

27
Q

For adults and school-age children, stuttering is more likely to occur on the following (4)

A
  1. consonants
  2. first factor (first sound or syllable of word, first word in phrase or sentence)
  3. longer and less frequently used words
  4. content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives)
28
Q

For preschool children, stuttering is more likely to occur on

A

function words (pronouns, conjunctions)

29
Q

Define adaptation effect

A

reduction in stuttering with repeated reading/exposure to the same material

30
Q

Define consistency effect

A

PWS tend to stutter on the same words when reading the same passage several times (developmental stutterers only)
- indicator of the strength or the stimuli that evoke stuttering

31
Q

Define adjacency effect.

A

occurrence of new stuttering on words that surround previously stuttered words

32
Q

Define audience size effect.

A

frequency of stuttering increases with an increase in audience size

33
Q

List the 5 theories of stuttering.

A
  1. environmental
  2. genetic
  3. interactive
  4. neurophysiological
  5. psychological
34
Q

Outline the assessment of Stuttering.

A
  1. case history
  2. measurement of types and frequency of dysfluencies in conversational speech and oral reading
  3. evaluation of the variability of dysfluencies
  4. assessment of negative emotions, avoidance reactions and associated motor behaviors
  5. measurement of speech and articulatory rate
  6. application of chosen diagnostic criterion
35
Q

what are the neurophysiological factors of stuttering?

A

gray and white matter differences
neural network connectivity differences
lateralization of hemisphere functions

what are the causes of stuttering?

A

Q

Define cluttering.

A

a disorder of fluency characterized by rapid or irregular rate, atypical pauses, imprecise, jerky, and disorganized speech

39
Q

List characteristics of cluttering.

A

irregular rate of speech

  2. secondary behaviors
  3. negative reactions
  4. avoidance behaviors
  5. family history
49
Q

What happens during the Lidcombe Program?

A

home program in which parent reinforces fluency by praising each instance of fluent speech

50
Q

most valuable information during assessment of stuttering?

A

repetition units

51
Q

speech modification strategies

A

techniques aimed at making changes to the timing and tension of speech production
- easy onset
- light contacts
- rate control
- continuous phonation
- prolonged syllables

52
Q

stuttering modification strategies

A

van riper! - identification - desensitization - modification - generalization
identify core stuttering behaviors
recognize physical behaviors
locate point of physical tensions and struggle during disfluency
reduce physical tension
