Abstract
The data for 5 successive readings of a 500-word passage by each of 20 stutterers were analyzed. The frequency and mean rate of severity of individual moments of stuttering are significantly and positively correlated. The strength of the relationship was not varied over the course of 5 successive readings. The relationship is not strong enough so that one measure can be useful in predicting the other. A complete evaluation of severity of audible characteristics of stuttering should probably take into account both frequency and severity of individual moments of stuttering.Keywords
