Abstract
Frequency and percentage of words stuttered by three adult stutterers were assessed under conditions designed to modify and control rate of speaking. Target rates of 50% above base rate, 50% below base rate, and base rate were sought in experimental periods by on-line signalling of proximity to the target rate. A criterion of rate control was met by two subjects who reduced their frequency and percentage of words stuttered in the 50%-below-base rate condition. Some reduced stuttering occurred in other conditions.Keywords
