Abstract
Forty normal speakers were divided into two groups to study the effects of two types of verbal punishment of disfluencies. The two conditions, Random and Contingent, were divided into three segments each. Punishment was not delivered in Segments 1 or 3. Segment 2 presented Random subjects with the tape recorded word “wrong” on a predetermined random schedule. Contingent subjects were delivered the word “wrong” after each disfluency. Random presentation of “wrong” did not significantly affect rate of disfluencies. Contingent presentation resulted in a sharp decrease in disfluencies during Segment 2, and an increase in disfluencies during Segment 3.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
