(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Introduction

The fluency of speech is influenced by several factors. The frequency of disfluencies is affected by different causes such as individual characteristics, speech and articulation rate, age, gender, and speech type (Bortfeld et al., 2001). Different speech tasks require different planning procedures. These procedures are indicated on surface level by changes in the speech rate, pausing strategies and disfluencies. In speech therapy examinations children are often exposed to tasks of picture-based storytelling (Byrd et al., 2012; Redford, 2013). Pictures may decrease the cognitive workload of creating a story but at the same time the task may remain difficult for a child who cannot comprehend the content of the picture.
