M. Blomgren, A.M. Goberman / Journal of Communication Disorders 41 (2008) 159–178 175CE Questions:1. As discussed in this paper, two of the most widely examined factors thought to influencestuttering frequency are:a. speech rate and utterance length.b. speech rate and the specific word initial phoneme.c. utterance length and age of listener.d. age of stuttering onset and duration of stuttering moments.2. A ‘‘closed’’ motor skill:a. occurs in a non-stable environment.b. includes aspects of a task that change during performance of the task.c. occurs in a temporally and spatially stable environment.d. tends to be spatially and temporally complex.3. The ‘‘variable rate’’ tasks utilized in this study included:a. reading a series words at a slow rate of speech and a series of phrases at a fast rate ofspeech.b. reading numerous paragraph length texts at variable speaking rates.c. reading a series of single words and a series of phrases at alternating slow, normaland fast rates of speech.d. reading a series of words three times each at a normal speaking rate.4. The overall findings of the specific 2 2 speech performance matrix utilized in thispaper indicated that:a. stuttering frequency was most influenced by the linguistic complexity variable.b. stuttering frequency is most influenced by temporal complexity variable.c. stuttering was most influenced by the words and phrases beginning with consonants.d. stuttering was influenced by both length of utterance and speech rate variability(temporal complexity).5. In the present study, the relatively less severe (milder) stuttering speakers tended tostutter most:a. during the stable rate tasks.b. during the longer utterances.c. during the variable rate tasks.d. during the shorter utterances.ReferencesAndrews, G., & Harris, M.
