Accepted Answer

In advanced stages, stuttering can be influenced by various factors including time pressure, communication demands, and concern about social approval, making all of the above correct.

Question 12

An experiment to test whether stuttering frequency is altered by the interval (in seconds) between presentation of a word and the signal to the stutterer to say that word, would have implications for:

Accepted Answer

The presence of anticipation is the tendency for stutterers to anticipate the occurrence of a stuttering event. This experiment would test whether the interval between the presentation of a word and the signal to the stutterer to say that word affects the frequency of stuttering, which would have implications for the presence of anticipation.

Question 18

Which of the following is not a true statement about the relationship between stuttering and intellectual abilities:

Accepted Answer

Research does not support the claim that parents' intellectual abilities strongly influence the incidence of stuttering in their children. Stuttering can occur across a wide range of intellectual abilities and is not directly linked to parental intelligence.

Question 19

Accepted Answer

Interjections are common disfluencies that occur in both people who stutter and normally fluent speakers, with minimal differences in frequency.

Accepted Answer

Secondary characteristics of stuttering include physical tensions, movements, and other behaviors that accompany stuttering moments, such as facial grimaces or body movements.
