Formulaic language in speech fluency development in English as a second language
… of formulaic language in second language (L2) speech fluency development, within a cognitive and information processing framework. Fluency has been studied and defined in terms of temporal variables of speech such as rate of speech, pause frequency and distribution, and the length of fluent …

Selected modifications of the auditory feedback system and their effects on speech fluency.
… some time that we continually monitor our own speech by listening to ourselves; indeed, the absence of this monitoring system is detrimental to our speech performance. In the congenitally deaf, acquiring the skill of speech is always very difficult and frequently impossible, even with the aid …

Exploring Perceptions of Second Language Speech Fluency Through Developing and Piloting a Rating Scale for a Paired Conversational Task
Much research has explored how perceptions of speech fluency are influenced by a variety of temporal speech features (e.g. speech rate). However, less is known about the influence of non-temporal and conversational speech characteristics, as well as listener characteristics such as accent …

Reduction of stuttering in adult males using relaxed breathing and EMG biofeedback : a masters thesis ...
… trained three adult male stutterers to increase speech fluency using relaxed breathing and a-x; biofeedback. A one group time-series design with 2 treatments was used. After an initial baseline phase (A) all 3 subjects received a relaxed breathing procedure (B), followed by a combined procedure …

Online control of articulation based on auditory feedback in normal Speech and stuttering : behavioral and modeling studies
Articulation of multisyllabic speech requires a high degree of accuracy in controlling the spatial (positional) and the temporal parameters of articulatory movements. In stuttering, a disorder of speech fluency, failures to meet these control requirements occur frequently, leading to dysfluencies …

The use of gestures in the conversations of people with aphasia
… hand and arm movements that frequently accompany speech and play an important role in everyday communication. When communication is impaired by aphasia, gestures are affected as well. It is important to find out how people with aphasia (PWA) use gesture as an accompaniment to speech, as a …

Auditory-motor integration influences on speech motor control and fluency: a comparison of normally fluent speakers and people who stutter
… effects of delayed auditory feedback (DAF) on speech motor stability and speech fluency in normally fluent adults (PWNS) and to compare them with effects on adults who exhibit persistent stuttering. If the auditory processing influences differently the two groups, it might shed light on the …

The Effect of Sequent Input on Speech Accuracy and Fluency in Adults at the Intermediate Level
… posttest findings revealed that the intensity of speech inaccuracy in the experimental group showed a statistically significant difference compared to the control group in word-order errors and lexical-choice errors. However, there was no significant difference in the intensity of disfluency …
