Q

differentiate prolongations vs blocks

A

Prolongations = movement of articulators is stopped BUT airflow is continuous (there is still sound)
Blocks = airflow and movement of articulators stop

25
Q

This occurs when the speaker is already in the moment of stuttering

A

Escape Behaviors

26
Q

Common Examples of Escape Behaviors

A

Common examples are eye blinks, head nods and interjections of extra sounds, such as “uh” which are often followed by the termination of a stutter and are therefore reinforced

27
Q

A speaker’s attempt to prevent a stuttering when he or she anticipates stuttering on a word or in a situation

A

Avoidance Behaviors

28
Q

Avoidance Behaviors example

A

word-based avoidance:

eye blinks, interjections of extra sounds, like “uh, said before the word on which stuttering is expected

29
Q

differentiate escape vs avoidance behaviors

A

Escape = nasa middle/moment ng stutter pero may intention to finish the word pero there would be interjections or mga eye blinks; intention is to terminate the behavior
Avoidance = before; totally avoid so you would say another word, intention is to prevent and avoid the stutter

30
Q

T or F

Adolescents and adults usually have negative attitudes about themselves that are derived from years of stuttering experiences

A

True

31
Q

T or F

A person who stutters often projects his attitudes on listeners; sometimes, listeners do not contribute to the person’s attitudes

A

False: listeners contribute

32
Q

What are the developmental levels of stuttering?

A

Normal Disfluency/Typical disfluency

Younger Preschool Children: Borderline Stuttering

School Age: Intermediate Stuttering

Older Teens and Adults: Advanced Stuttering

33
Q

8 COMMON CATEGORIES OF NORMAL DISFLUENCY

A

Prolongation
Tense Pause

34
Q

Distinguishing features of normal disfluency

Q

Estimate that normally speaking preschool children have an average of about

A

7 disfluencies for every 100 words spoken

36

36
Q

____ usually decline after 3 years of age

A

interjections
