Term
Disfluency Types (2)
Definition
Stuttering and Cluttering
Term
Stuttering
Definition

 A fluency disorder characterized by repetition prolongations and blocks often referred to as core behaviors. Accompanying these are associated learned behaviors in the form of vocal and nonvocal behaviors. These learned patterns are used in attempt to hide or disguise core behaviors. 

Term
Developmental Stages of Stuttering
Definition

·      Stage 1: episodic: occurs when child is upset,  has a lot to say or is under pressure

·      Stage 2: specific: aware he is a ‘stutterer’ but not upset. Usually stutters when excited

·      Stage 3: chronic: avoid difficult words, does not show outward embarrassment but begins to get frustrated

·      Stage 4: anticipatory: avoid situations where he may need to speak because of fear and embarrassment usually in teens and early adulthood

Term
Cerebral Dominance Theory
Definition
 says that a child is predisposed to stuttering because neither side of the brain is dominant in controlling the motor activities involved in talking. 
Term
Biochemical and physiological Theory 
Definition
inherited predisposition related to epilepsy. Calls stuttering mini seizures brought on by stress and chemical in balance of blood-sugar levels. Lead to research of basal metabolism, blood chemistry and brain waves 
Term
Genetic Theory 
Definition

·      no gene found to account for stuttering. Studies show that stuttering runs in families. No real research to conclude stuttering is 100% genetic

Term
Neuropsycholinguistic theory 
Definition

·      says speech requires two systems, the linguistic system and the paralinguistic, these two systems must be synchronized, if not you stutter. Also influenced by time pressure. Other theorist says stuttering is a result of a deficit in the monitoring part of speech causing the brain to have a false detection of errors and the systems attempt to correct “errors” by halting or stalling speech. 

Term
Neurophysiologic break down theory 
Definition

·      different brain activations in people who stutter. Abnormal neurologic brain function.

Term
Diagnosogenic-semantogenic theory 
Definition
aka developmental theory aka “anticipatory struggle” theory. Says that parents make kids nervous by pointing out their hesitance  and creating an environment of “handicap” and “difference”. “stuttering begins not in the child’s mouth but in the parents ear” 
Term
Neurotic Theory 
Definition

·      focus on personality and psychological attributes of the stutterer. Acts as a mechanism to repress some unwanted or threatening feeling. All kinds of crazy Freudian like things : excuse for failure, fear of castration, anal gratification, hostility etc

Term
Conditioning Theory 
Definition

·      an originally unconditioned breakdown in fluency becomes associated w speaker’s anxiety about talking. Leads to stuttering in all anxiety causing settings. Systematic Desensitization therapy, coutercoding and reciprocal inhibition. One says stutter is caused by a fear and then person becomes conditioned to stutter when scared. Other says that person is anxious about beginning to talk so when he talks he stutters but he’s not anxious anymore because he doesn’t have to talk any more which reinforces the stutter. Other says stutter is torn between wanting to speak and not wanting to speak

Term
Core behaviors of stuttering 
Definition

-repetitions

-prolongations

Term
Secondary Behaviors of stuttering
Definition

-eye aversion

-avoidance

-revision

-abnormal head/body movements 

-Verbal interjections (um..)

Term
Cluttering
Definition
rapid, often unintelligible speech characterized by omission of speech sounds or entire words
