Stutter-like dysfluencies in Flemish Sign Language users.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this communication is to report on the occurrence of stutter-like behaviour in Flemish Sign Language users. A questionnaire was sent to 38 Flemish Sign Language interpreters and 28 employees of special needs schools adapted to deaf and partially deaf pupils inquiring whether they had ever observed dysfluencies in the manual communication of the deaf and partially deaf. Of the 13 individuals who responded, nine indicated to have perceived such behaviour. The characteristics of the observed dysfluencies are summarized and implications are discussed.

Computational modeling of stuttering caused by impairments in a basal ganglia thalamo-cortical circuit involved in syllable selection and initiation.
Atypical white-matter integrity and elevated dopamine levels have been reported for individuals who stutter. We investigated how such abnormalities may lead to speech dysfluencies due to their effects on a syllable-sequencing circuit that consists of basal ganglia (BG), thalamus, and left ventral premotor cortex (vPMC). "Neurally impaired" versions of the neurocomputational speech production mo...
متن کاملModulation of auditory processing during speech movement planning is limited in adults who stutter.
Stuttering is associated with atypical structural and functional connectivity in sensorimotor brain areas, in particular premotor, motor, and auditory regions. It remains unknown, however, which specific mechanisms of speech planning and execution are affected by these neurological abnormalities. To investigate pre-movement sensory modulation, we recorded 12 stuttering and 12 nonstuttering adul...
متن کاملPractical Stutter-Invariance Checks for ω-Regular Languages
An ω-regular language is stutter-invariant if it is closed by the operation that duplicates some letter in a word or that removes some duplicate letter. Model checkers can use powerful reduction techniques when the specification is stutter-invariant. We propose several automata-based constructions that check whether a specification is stutter-invariant. These constructions assume that a specifi...
متن کاملEffects of word frequency and phonological neighborhood characteristics on confrontation naming in children who stutter and normally fluent peers.
UNLABELLED In a prior study (Newman & Bernstein Ratner, 2007), we examined the effects of word frequency and phonological neighborhood characteristics on confrontation naming latency, accuracy and fluency in adults who stutter and typically fluent speakers. A small difference in accuracy favoring fluent adults was noted, but no other patterns differentiated fluent speaker responses from those o...
متن کاملA Secure Agent-based Single Sign-On Scheme Supporting Web Services Home Network Environments
The number of services in home network environments has been growing increasingly, and therefore users must manage multiple user names and passwords daily. The previous works like SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) standard and the commercial software called .NET Passport provide web services’ single sign-on function; however, the SAML system not only increases the heavy loading of serve...
