Popis: Objectives: The anticipation of stuttering is a common experience for many people who stutter. In this study, subjective ratings of stuttering anticipation were used to investigate the consistency of anticipation across time, beliefs about how anticipation affects the likelihood of stuttering, and the relationship between anticipation and verbal response time (VRT) in the perceptually fluent speech of 12 adults who stutter (AWS).Method: AWS used a visual analog scale to rate their beliefs about stuttering anticipation in general, and their degree of stuttering anticipation for 50 words at two separate visits that were separated by approximately 1 week. Participants performed a computer-prompted oral reading task with the same 50 words to obtain measures of VRT. Within-subject and group level correlations were used to explore relationships between stuttering anticipation, VRT, and stuttering severity.Results: Six of the participants had word-level stuttering anticipation ratings that were significantly cor...
