چکیده

background : one language-related area that has recently received more attention from researchers working in the field of stuttering is phonological working memory. this article aimed to identify phonological skills of working memory in children with stuttering in comparison with normal children, and to obtain the relationship between the increase in the number of syllables in non-words and the mean percentage of error in non-word repetition in both groups, then to compare them with each other. methods: thirty children participated in the study, 15 children who stutter and 15 normal children which were matched by age, gender and socio-economic status. cases of this study were recruited by non random convenience sampling. the research data collection was based on non-word repetition test. the test included 40 non-words. independent t-tests and linear regression were used for data analysis. results: results revealed that in all cases the mean percentage of error was higher in children who stutter than normal children, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>.05). also the mean percentage error did not show a regular increase by increasing the number of syllables in the non-words. so that, in both groups of the study the highest mean percentage of error was related to single-syllable non-words then three-syllable and two-syllable ones. conclusion : the results of the present research from previous researches support the view that children with stuttering may have some degree of delay and slow in phonological working memory abilities when compared to normal children. it is proposed that in future more researches could be done in more samples, in different age groups of children and adults who stutter.

Relationships among linguistic processing speed, phonological working memory, and attention in children who stutter.

UNLABELLED Relatively recently, experimental studies of linguistic processing speed in children who stutter (CWS) have emerged, some of which suggest differences in performance among CWS compared to children who do not stutter (CWNS). What is not yet well understood is the extent to which underlying cognitive skills may impact performance on timed tasks of linguistic performance. The purpose of...

Phonological encoding of young children who stutter.

PURPOSE Several empirical studies suggest that children who stutter, when compared to typically fluent peers, demonstrate relatively subtle, yet robust differences in phonological encoding. Phonological encoding can be measured through the use of tasks that reflect the underlying mechanisms of phonological processing, such as phonological awareness. This study investigated the phonological enco...

The Effects of Emotional Content on Phonological Processing in Children Who Stutter

Objectives: Stuttering and phonological processing are mutually related. Emotion is an effective factor in fluency and language processing; however, its underlying neural mechanism remains unclear. Event-Related Potential (ERP) is a non-invasive highly-beneficial method with high time resolution for language processing. The present study aimed to explore phonological processing in emotional wor...

Phonological skills and disfluency levels in preschool children who stutter.

UNLABELLED The relation between stuttering and aspects of language, including phonology, has been investigated for many years. Whereas past literature reported that the incidence of phonological difficulties is higher for children who stutter when compared to normally fluent children, the suggestion of association between the two disorders also drew several critical evaluations. Nevertheless, o...

Phonological priming in adults who stutter.

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to compare the speed of phonological encoding between adults who stutter (AWS) and adults who do not stutter (ANS). Fifteen male AWS and 15 age- and gender-matched ANS participated in the study. Speech onset latency was obtained for both groups and stuttering frequency was calculated for AWS during three phonological priming tasks: (1) heterogeneous, dur...
