Acoustic and Psychophysical Dimensions of the Perceived Speech Naturalness of Nonstutterers and Posttreatment Stutterers.
Metz, Dale Evan; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v55 n3 p516-25 Aug 1990
The study of 35 posttreatment stutterers found that magnitude estimation and interval scaling were both valid procedures for measuring speech naturalness. Speech of nonstutterers was judged more natural than speech of treated stutterers. The acoustic parameters most highly correlated with speech naturalness were voice onset time measure and sentence duration. (Author/JDD)
