PG - 799-804 AB - The constancy of interstress intervals (ISIs) was studied in the fluent speech of 2 people who stutter during five adaptation trials. Counter to prediction, ISI constancy did not improve as an accompaniment to the reduction of stuttering from Readings 1-5. Overall, the subjects' ISIs were substantially more variable in duration than those of 2 nonstutterers. This was accounted for by the subjects' unusually long ISIs in utterances that placed greater demands on speech motor control processes. Implications for impairment source factors in stuttering are discussed. FAU - Prins, D AU - Prins D AD - Speech and Hearing Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.
