Abstract
20 stuttering subjects read aloud in 5 successive trials and a final trial after a 24-hour time interval and utilized self-formulated speech descriptive of drawings presented in a booklet in 5 successive trials'' and a sixth trial after a 24-hour recovery period. Analyses of variance revealed significant amounts of adaptation. Recovery in the reading condition was significant. Recovery in the self-formulated speech condition was nearly significant. Adaptation and recovery of the stuttering response as found in self-formulated speech are similar to the same phenomena as observed in oral reading.
