An ABA time series design was used to examine the effect of extended, continuous exposure to frequency-altered auditory feedback (FAF) during an oral reading and monologue task on stuttering frequency and speech rate. Twelve adults who stutter participated. A statistically significant decrease in number of stuttering events, an increase in number of syllables produced, and a decrease in percent stuttering was observed during the experimental segment relative to baseline segments for the oral reading task. In the monologue task, there were no statistically significant differences for the number of stuttering events, number of syllables produced, or percent stuttering between the experimental and baseline segments. Varying individual patterns of response to FAF were evident during the experimental segment of the reading task: a large consistent reduction in stuttering, an initial reduction followed by fluctuations in amount of stuttering, and essentially no change in stuttering frequency. Ten of 12 participants showed no reduction in stuttering frequency during the experimental segment of the monologue task. These findings have ramifications both for the clinical utilization of FAF and for theoretical explanations of fluency-enhancement.

KEY WORDS: stuttering, frequency-altered feedback, extended exposure to FAF, fluency-enhancement
