Abstract: This study investigated the changes in speech reaction time (SRT) before and after therapy for words and sentences varying in their length and linguistic complexity. Eleven stutterers in the age ranges 18 to 34 years were compared on a choice reaction time paradigm. The results indicated shorter SRTs in post-therapy condition compared to pre therapy condition. Significant interaction of test and complexity were observed. Within this perspective stuttering can be viewed as speech motor programming disorder, which is potentially benefited from the application of fluency enhancing therapy. Certain exceptions in the results can be due to variations in severity of stuttering and treatment influences in each participant
