Abstract
10 stutterers and 10 nonstutterers' abilities to perceive accurately p rosodic information (stress, contrast, and emotion), linguistic stimul i staggered in time and nonspeech stimuli (tone bursts) were examined. Analysis indicated significant differences between the two groups on the Staggered Spondaic Word Test and the stress subtest of the Sentenc e Disambiguation Task. In addition, 7 of the 10 stuttering subjects pe rformed more poorly on the three measures than nonstuttering subjects.
