Two groups of subjects made magnitude estimations of a series of eight circles, each of which had its own color. All subjects received the same number of presentations in both sessions, with half the subjects receiving the same size-color pairing of the first session, and the remaining subjects receiving a different size-color pairing, in the second session, one week later. Interrepetition correlations of exponents for the middle four adjacent presentations were computed. All of the correlations were significantly different from zero with the exception of the intersession correlation of the control group. The control group exhibited a significant decrease in correlation across sessions while the experimental group remained stable. These findings were totally unexpected. A test of difference between intersession correlations was not significant. The results can not easily be explained within the framework of either the response bias or memory hypotheses.

This thesis explored adolescent nonstutterers' preferences for the stuttering control patterns: bounce, prolongation, light contact, and conversational rate control. A videotape was produced of a black and white speaker imitating stuttering and portraying the four control patterns. Adolescents viewed the tape in small groups and rated the stuttering control patterns on a Likert seven point rating scale according to their degree of preference for each. The conversational rate control pattern was found to be the most preferred method of stuttering control for the adolescent viewer.Analyses of viewer race and socioeconomic status and the interactions between viewer race and speaker race were made also. The significant findings yielded a higher mean rating given to the black speaker by black and white viewers. This finding was interpreted in support of the hypothesis that adolescent peers expect and demand a return to increased fluency more so for a member of the black culture than of a white culture.
