Abstract
31 male and 5 female adolescent and adult stutterers with an age range of 15 years, 6 months, to 37 years, 5 months, were studied on 2 consecutive readings of a 250-word reading passage. Only subjects who obtained a criteria of 10 or more words stuttered on the 1st reading and a reduction in frequency of words stuttered upon repeating the reading were utilized. Three 250-word experimental reading passages were constructed to provide approximately equal probability of stuttering. There was no evidence to support the hypothesis that longer Recovery Delay Intervals are accompanied by greater increments in recovery of stuttering response frequency.Keywords
