Adaptation
An individual’s ability to predict on which words or sounds he or she will stutter
Anticipation
A feeling that has become a pervasive part of a person’s beliefs
Attitude
A speaker’s attempt to prevent stuttering when he or she anticipates stuttering on a word or in a situation.
Avoidance Behavior
What is a common word-used avoidance?
Interjections of extra sounds such as “uh” before the speaker says the word they expect to stutter on
A disfluency that is an inappropriate stoppage of the flow of air or voice and often the movement of articulators
Block
The tendency for speakers to stutter on the same words when reading a passage several times
Consistency
The basic speech behaviors of stuttering
Core behaviors
What are the 3 core behaviors of stuttering?
Repetition, blocks, prolongations
A term used to denote the most common form of stuttering that develops during childhood (in contrast to stuttering that develops in response to a neurological event or trauma or emotional stress)
Developmental stuttering
An interruption of speech—such as a repetition, hesitancy, or prolongation of sound—that may occur in both individuals who are developing typically and those who stutter
Disfluency
A speaker’s attempts to terminate a stutter and finish the word. This occurs when the speaker is already in a moment of stuttering.
Escape behavior
The effortless flow of speech
Fluency
Differences among various types of a disorder
Heterogeneity
An index of how many people have stuttered at some time in their lives
Incidence
An interruption of speech in a typically developing individual
Normal disfluency
A term used to indicate how widespread a disorder is over a relatively limited period of time
Prevalence
A disfluency in which sound or air flow continues but movement of the articulators is stopped
Prolongation
A sound, syllable, or single-syllable word that is repeated several times. The speaker is apparently “stuck” on that sound or syllable and continues repeating it until the following sound can be produced.
Repetition
A speaker’s reactions to his or her repetitions, prolongations, and blocks in an attempt to end them quickly or avoid them altogether. Such reactions may begin as random struggle but soon turn into well-learned patterns.
