What are the core behaviours of stuttering? - answer - Repetitions of
sounds and syllables
- Prolongations
- Blocks
What are the secondary behaviours of stuttering? - answer - Escape
behaviours
-Avoidance behaviours
What is a sound repetition? - answer "W-w-w-w-words", "p-p-p-lay"
- Sound repetitions are very uncommon amongst people who don't stutter.
What is a prolongation? - answer " I went to the mmmmmmovies last
night"
- also very uncommon amongst people who don't stutter. The only time we
would do that is because we don't know how to pronounce the word or
because we are word searching, but it is very rare.
What is a block? - answer Complete block before getting the word out. In
the event of silent blocks, the closure is total, halting the flow of air. They
obstruct the flow of speech at one or several locations (tongue, lips,
larynx, etc.)
What are some feelings and attitudes a person may have towards their
stuttering? - answer The anxiety you feel being a person who stutters may
impact your stuttering even more. People may limit their speech in order
to avoid stuttering. They may be hesitant to fully express themselves.
They may feel shame.
, What are examples of secondary behaviours that are signs of physical
effort/tension? - answer Eye blinks, facial grimacing, changes in pitch or
loudness, jaw jerking, head movements)
What are examples of typical disfluencies? - answer - Multisyllabic whole-
word and phrase repetitions
- Interjections (e.g., um, uh)
- Revisions
How do we define stuttering? - answer An abnormal high frequency and/or
duration of stoppages in the forward flow of speech. These stoppages
usually take the form of: a) repetitions of sounds, syllables, or one-
syllable words b) prolongations of sounds, or c) blockages or blocks of
airflow or voicing in speech.
What are some behaviours of people with typical disfluency? - answer - No
physical tension or struggle
- No secondary behaviours
- No negative reaction or frustration
- No family history of stuttering
What are some behaviours of individuals who stutter? - answer -
Associated physical tension or struggle
Secondary behaviours (e.g., eye blinks, facial grimacing, changes in pitch
or loudness)
- Negative reaction or frustration
- Avoidance behaviours (e.g., reduced verbal output or word/situational
avoidances)
- Family history of stuttering
What is incidence? - answer The number of NEW cases in a specific time
period (regardless of whether they still have the condition or not).
