Abstract
20 normal hearing subjects were subjected to 80 db of delayed sidetone during 24 readings of a 45-word, prose passage. Twelve successive readings were given the first week, 12 the following week. Measures of reading time and fluency and related measures of speaking ability showed that there was no significant adaptation in reading rate, but there was a significant adaptation in fluency from the 1st series of readings to the 2d series 1 week later. There were marked individual differences with some readers growing markedly worse and some growing markedly improved, as well as differences relating to the initial reactions of the speaker.
