Question 1

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Investigating fluent speech in adults who stutter is important because it can help us understand the underlying mechanisms of the stuttering disorder. While stuttering is typically associated with disfluencies and disruptions in speech, some individuals who stutter may also exhibit fluent speech. However, the authors of your textbook suggest that this fluent speech may not be entirely free of the stuttering disorder.

One point of evidence characteristic of their fluent speech that may indicate an underlying problem is the presence of secondary behaviors or avoidance strategies. For example, some individuals who stutter may use word substitutions or circumlocutions to avoid stuttering on certain sounds or words, even though their overall speech may appear fluent. This suggests that there may still be an underlying struggle or tension related to their speech, even when it appears fluent on the surface. Investigating these aspects of fluent speech can provide valuable insights into the complexity of the stuttering disorder and inform more effective treatment approaches.

One reason why definitions of stuttering differ is that some of them are based entirely, or partially, on hypotheses about the cause of the disorder instead of describing it.
