A comparison of the articulatory proficiency between stutterers and nonstutterers while in a state of oral sensory deprivation

摘要

The purpose of this thesis was to determine if stutterers monitor speech production differently than nonstutterers while in a state of oral sensory deprivation. The specific questions asked were:1. Does an imposed oral somesthetic feedback deficit hinder articulation proficiency more in a nonstuttering sample than in a stuttering sample?2. If the articulation proficiency is deficient in both samples, does the nature of the errors differ between the two samples?
