Peer reviewedSilverman, Franklin H. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1971
Twenty adult male nonstutterers became more fluent when pacing their speech with a metronome. The degree to which they became more fluent was within the range which has been reported for stutterers. This finding suggests that the effect of the metronome on stuttering is not primarily a result of distraction. (Author/KW)

Peer reviewedBloodstein, Oliver – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1972
The hypothesis that a person stutters because he believes in the difficulty of speech, anticipates failure, and struggles to avoid it, is said to be consistent with experimental findings on the metronome effect, the adaptation effect, the effects of white noise and delayed auditory feedback, and operant control of stuttering.
