Abstract

The syllable repetitions of 6 child and 6 adult stutterers were investigated to establish whether dysfluent speech had a higher noise-to-signal ratio than fluent speech and whether this differed between children and adults. As predicted, the stuttered speech had a higher noise level for both age groups. During dysfluencies, the level of the noise components in the children’s speech was higher than in the adults.
