Dysfluencies in Normals Under Deaf : In Three Conditions of Voicing

Abstract

Several studies have reported that the normals show stuttering like behaviour under DAF. There are also studies showing that the stutterers show different degrees of adaptation under different degrees of voicing. The present study was conducted to find out the adaptation in 15 male and 15 female normal adults under in 3 different voicing conditions {silent, whisper and loud reading). The results indicate greater adaptation in these subjects under silent reading compared to other conditions.
