1	Mother-child relationships and stuttering in children Wyatt, Gertrud L. January 1958 (has links) Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The Problem. Theories concerning the origin and treatment of stuttering have varied widely. Older theories have been highly speculative, while a more systematic clinical and experimental approach has been prevalent lately. A major weakness of research studies has been the lack of adequate conceptual schemes for systematizing the data and the absence of specific hypotheses to be tested. In this study recent findings in genetic psychology, in the psychology of language, and in the psychoanalytic study of ego development have been utilized for the formulation of a "developmental crisis" theory of stuttering. The onset of stuttering has been interpreted as the result of a crisis in language learning coincident with a crisis in the relationship between mother and child.

3	Poznatky o logopedické diagnostice a terapii balbuties v české a zahraniční odborné literatuře / Observations in the logopedic diagnostics and therapy of the balbuties in the Czech and forein scientific literature Žárská, Kamila January 2018 (has links) The topics of this master thesis are mainly findings on speech-therapy and the treatment of stuttering - stammering in the Czech and foreing reference literature. The work is divided into four chapters; three theoretical and one practical. The first theoretical chapter deals with stuttering-stammering, defines the basic concepts, deals with its etiology, symptoms and expresions, classification and division. The second chapter summarizes findings of balbuties in the Czech literature. The third chapter summarizes findings of balbuties on diagnosis and therapy in the English written literature. The fourth chapter is empirical and it is a quantitative empirical survey. The main method of data gathering was an online survey. The main purpose of the survey was to ascertain which methods and techniques are used when treating stuttering-stammering in the Czech Republic and in the Great Britain. The sub-chapters of the empirical part represent the scientific goals and chosen hypotheses, used methods, an actual processing of the quantitative survey and outcomes of the survey.

4	Impact of Stuttering on Communication Attitude Among Adults Who Stutter and their Life Partner Panzarino, Randy W 01 January 2019 (has links) This study investigates the extent to which the fluent life partners (LPs) of persons who stutter (PWS) understand the effect stuttering has on their partner who stutters' communication attitude. This was accomplished by administering the Communication Attitude Test for Adults Who Stutter (BigCAT; Vanryckeghem & Brutten, 2018), a subtest of the Behavior Assessment Battery (BAB; Vanryckeghem & Brutten, 2018). The BigCAT was administered to 33 PWS and a modified version was administered to their LPs via Qualtrics, an online survey software system. Between-group total score comparison revealed no significant difference in total scores, and a low-medium score correlation was evidenced. Within both groups, participants age and gender did not have a significant effect on total scores. The perception of stuttering severity was found to significantly influence BigCAT scores within each group. No differential effect of duration of relationship on score agreement was found to exist. A high Cronbach Alpha coefficient was obtained for both test forms. Between-group item score comparison revealed that only answers on two out of the 34 items differed significantly. They were related to frequency of speech disruption and avoidance of persons, places or situations. Item 24 had a perfect correlation between the two groups and relates to common behaviors PWS exhibit in trying to attain more fluency. Overall, the findings of this study show that LPs of PWS have a general understanding of the impact stuttering has on their partner who stutters' communication attitude.

6	Speech Motor Control in English-Mandarin Bilinguals who stutter Chiam, Ruth January 2013 (has links) Research examining bilinguals who stutter (BWS) is limited; in particular there are few studies that have considered examining features of speech motor control in BWS. The present study was designed to examine features of speech motor control in bilingual speakers of Mandarin and English. Speech motor control was examined through the acoustic analysis of speaking rate, voice onset time (VOT) and stuttering adaptation. Participants ranged from age between 9 and 27 years. Upon completion of a language dominance questionnaire, two BWS participants were found to be English dominant and three were Mandarin dominant. Each BWS participant was matched to age/sex matched control participants (BWNS). Results for the BWS participants found more stuttering in the less dominant language based on a measure of percentage of syllables stuttered. All of the BWS participants demonstrated stuttering adaptation and there was no significant difference in the amount of adaptation for Mandarin and English. There was no difference found between BWS and BWNS for speaking rate and VOT. In spite of the similarity between BWS and BWNS, speaking rate in Mandarin appeared to be faster compared to English. These findings suggest that speech motor control in BWS and BWNS are similar and current application of these findings to the clinical setting is discussed. stuttering stutter stammer stammering bilingual bilinguals English Mandarin English-Mandarin Mandarin-English voice onset time speech therapy speech motor control speaking rate articulation rate bilinguals who stutter VOT adaptation effect adaptation speech and language therapy language dominance language proficiency
