Abstract

Four preschool stutterers and 20 nonstutterers were compared to determine if children who develop stuttering differ from nonstutters in frequency of syllable dysfluency. This preliminary report points to the possibility that children who develop stuttering are less able from the outset to manage the fluent flow of syllables in their speech; the mean percent syllables dysfluent for the stutterers was 9.88, whereas for the nonstutterers it was only 1.24.
