Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of specific disfluencies in 3 year old and 5 year old normal male children in terms of part-word repetitions, word repetitions, phrase repetitions, interjections, revision-incomplete phrases, disrhythmic phonations and tense pauses. The disfluencies were observed while each child spontaneously interacted with an investigator in a clinical room. Two questions were addressed:

  1. Do three-year-old male children exhibit a higher overall frequency of disfluencies than five-year-old male children?
  2. Do three-year-old male children exhibit a greater frequency of certain disfluencies than five-year old male children?
