Abstract
This study explored the effect of reading with reversed speech on the frequency of stuttering. Eight adults who stutter served as participants and read four 300-syllable passages while listening to three types of speech stimuli: normal speech (choral reading), reversed speech at normal speed, reversed speech at half speed and a control condition of no auditory feedback. A repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant decrease in stuttering frequency in the choral reading condition but not in reversed speech at normal and half speed. However, the reversed speech at half speed condition showed a large effect size (w2=0.32). Data suggests that a forward moving speech feedback is not essential to decrease the frequency of stuttering in adults who stutter.
