Abstract
Although many authors in the past have claimed that disfluencies produced by normal speakers under delayed auditory feedback (DAF) are a laboratory version of stuttering, there has been little systematic research to support such a claim. The present study investigated the frequency of part-word repetitions, word repetitions, and phrase repetitions in a group of normal-speaking subjects under 200 msec of bilateral DAF. The results showed that DAF-induced disfluencies, at least on a descriptive level, are similar in form to those of stuttering but differ from stuttering in the loci of occurrence in the speech sequence.
