dc.description.abstractThis study presents the fluency characteristics of 12 male and 13 female normal-talking 6-year old children. All subjects were disfluent. The disfluency categories that the subjects displayed most frequently included fillers, revisions/sentence changes, word repetitions, and interjections. The categories that occurred with least frequency were partword repetitions, incoherent sounds, and dysrhythmic phonations, and only one of the subjects produced prolongations. The methodology of the interview had little to no impact on the amount of disfluency that the subjects produced. The results provided information about the disfluencies of the 6-year-old population in an interview situation. The results also concurred with pre-existing data spanning various age groups.
