Fluency Flashcards
stuttering
specific sensorimotor disruptions of the flow of speech
disfluency
normal speech
Charles Van Riper
Father of the field of stuttering
believed stuttering as disorder of timing
Charles Van Riper
Wendell Johnson
believed stuttering was caused by anticipatory, apprehensive, avoidance reaction
Stuttering types
Overt, momentary speech event
complex disorder
fluency
coordination of respiratory, phonatory, articulatory systems
what percentage of words are stuttered in pWS:
10%
SLD
part word repetitions, single syllable word repetition, dysrhythmic phonations
complex disorder involves
overt speech characteristics
physical concomitants
physiological activity
affective and cognitive features
social dynamics
ASHA stuttering
an interruption in the flow of speaking characterized by atypical rate, rhythm, and disfluencies, which may also be accompanied by excessive tension, speaking avoidance, struggle behaviors, and secondary mannerisms
organic orientation etiology
genetics
epilepsy
motor control
listener based orientation etiology
ear of the listener
psychopathogenic etiology
psychological
related to early childhood development
psychosocial etiology
caused by fears and anxiety
learned based etiology
learned behavior due to negative communication experiences
incidence
number of cases ever; total; always the higher number (5%)
prevalence
number of cases currently identified; point in time (1%)
factors influencing incidence and prevalence:
familiarity
age (younger)
gender (males)
neurological (hearing / cognitive impairment)
Monster study
Wendell Johnson
diagnosogenic theory
Range of onset
16-60 months
mean of onset
33.4 months; 2-4 years
onset can be:
sudden, severe, different
secondary behaviors can occur at:
onset
CWS repeat:
2-4 iterations
% of PWS that will naturally recover without therapy
80%
recovery criteria
no stuttering for minimum of 12 months, maintained for 4 years
increased predictor for recovery
females
no family history
earlier onset/ time since onset
trends
patterns
CWS tend to be:
hypervigilant
less adaptable to change
more fearful/shy
no strong link, but CWS have a greater prevalence of:
phonological and language disorders
differential developmental model
Van Riper
4 tracks of progression
identification
desensitization
modification
stabilization
generally develop awareness of stuttering around ages:
5-7
“giant in chains”
stuttering is blamed for all setbacks
S Cycle
affective (negative reactions)
behavior (stuttering)
cognitive (negative thoughts)
Loci of stuttering ADULTS:
content words
long words
consonant initial
sentence initial (popsicle)
words of importance
unfamiliar words
stressed syllables/words
loci of stuttering CHILDREN
function words
short words
vowel initial
familiar words
altered sensory info
DAF
masking noise
EMG biofeedback
response contingent stimuli
altered speaking patterns
metronome timed speech
reduced speaking rate
singsong speech
