Abstract
Speech and voice reaction times, speech segment durations, and object-naming latencies were obtained from a group of nonstuttering children and two subgroups of stuttering children: one subgroup (“stuttering-plus”) consisting of those who needed special education services for problems in addition to stuttering, and the other subgroup (“stuttering-only”) whose only apparent problem was stuttering. The stuttering-plus children had significantly longer speech and voice reaction times and naming latencies than did the stuttering-only and nonstuttering children. The stuttering-only children differed from the nonstuttering children only in voice termination times. The three groups did not differ in speech segment durations or in the variability of such measures. The need for identifying and studying subgroups of stutterers is discussed.
