The Effects of Noise Masking and Required Accuracy on Speech Errors, Disfluencies, and Self-Repairs.

Postma, Albert; Kolk, Herman – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1992
This study, involving 32 adult speakers of Dutch, strengthens the covert repair hypothesis of disfluency. It found that emphasis on speech accuracy causes lower speech error rates but does not affect disfluency and self-repair rates, noise masking reduces disfluency and self-repair rates but does not affect speech error numbers, and internal…

The Covert Repair Hypothesis: Prearticulatory Repair Processes in Normal and Stuttered Disfluencies.

Postma, Albert; Kolk, Herman – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
This paper discusses the speech monitoring process that underlies overt self-repairing of speech errors; the covert repair hypothesis, dealing particularly with explaining the variety of disfluency types from a restricted set of repair principles; quantitative and qualitative characteristics of disfluency in people who stutter; and the covert…
