Disfluent Speech Behavior of Preschool Children, High School Seniors, and Geriatric Persons

Ehud Yairi
Noel F. Clifton, Jr.
Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas

This investigation ascertained the types and frequency of disfluencies exhibited in the spontaneous speech of three groups of 15 nonstuttering subjects: preschool children, high school seniors, and geriatric persons. Occurrences of types of disfluencies were identified from tape recordings of subjects' responses to CAT cards. The results indicated not only that geriatric and preschool subjects exhibited similar disfluency patterns, but that frequency of occurrence of disfluencies was significantly greater in these two groups than in the high school group.
