BehaveNet® Clinical Capsule™:

stuttering: within-word disfluency


Within-Word Disfluencies include sound and syllable repetitions, sound prolongations and disrhythmic phonations, and tense pauses. These are more apt to be perceived as stuttering than between-word disfluencies such as revisions, phrase repetitions, and interjections and multisyllable whole-word repetitions.*
