“…Prins et al (1997) observed a larger effect of word frequency on picture naming RT in PWS compared to controls, suggesting word form access and retrieval is less efficient in PWS. A similar finding has been reported by Newman and Bernstein Ratner (2007). Deficits in lexical selection and accessing lexical phonology cannot be the sole cause of stuttering, though; Packman, Onslow, Coombes, and Goodwin (2001) observed significant amounts of stuttering by three PWS when reading aloud written texts composed of non-words.…”

“…Newman and Bernstein Ratner (2007) examined the effects of neighbourhood density and neighbourhood frequency on picture naming in adults who stutter. Both effects arguably influence the encoding of the sub-lexical content of word forms (Newman & Bernstein Ratner, 2007). Neither effect, however, distinguished PWS from fluent speaking controls.…”

“…Furthermore, findings from studies of adults who stutter (AWS) have been similarly inconsistent, with some suggesting that the speech-language processing systems of AWS may be slower and/or less accurate than adults who do not stutter (e.g., Newman & Ratner, 2007;Prins, Main, & Wampler, 1997;Sasisekaran & DeNil, 2006) and others reporting no such differences (e.g., Weber-Fox, Spencer, Spruill, & Smith, 2004). Given these uncertainties, further study of the speech-language processing abilities of CWS would appear to be warranted.…”

Age of acquisition and repetition priming effects on picture naming of children who do and do not stutter

The effects of age of acquisition and repetition priming on picture naming latencies and errors were studied in 22 children who stutter (CWS) and 22 children who do not stutter (CWNS) between the ages of 3;1 and 5;7. Children participated in a computerized picture naming task where they named pictures of both early and late acquired (AoA) words in two consecutive stages. Findings revealed that all children's picture naming latencies and errors were reduced following repetition priming and in response to early AoA words relative to late AoA words. AoA and repetition priming effects were similar for children in both talker groups, with one exception. Namely, CWS benefitted significantly more, in terms of error reduction, than CWNS from repetition priming for late AoA words. In addition, CWNS exhibited a significant, positive association between linguistic speed and measures of vocabulary, but CWS did not. These findings were taken to suggest that the (a) semanticphonological connections of CWS may not be as strong as those of CWNS, and (b) lexical measures may not be sensitive enough to differentiate CWS from CWNS in lexically-related aspects of language production.

“…In turn, small or poorly organized vocabularies limit comprehension of both oral language and written language. Another example is that individuals who inefficiently access extant phonological representations may demonstrate word finding difficulties (German & Newman, 2007) and dysfluent speech (Newman & Ratner, 2007). Individuals with imprecise phonological representations are likely to evidence articulation errors.…”

Assessment of individual differences in phonological representation

et al. 2009

Individual differences in abilities to form, access, and hone phonological representations of words are implicated in the development of oral and written language. This study addressed two important gaps in the literature concerning measurement of individual differences in phonological representation. First, we empirically examined the dimensionality of phonological representation abilities. Second, we empirically compared how well typical measures index various representation-related phonological processing abilities. Specifically, nine measures of accessibility to and distinctness of phonological presentations were administered to 175 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children. Confirmatory factor analysis validated three separate but correlated phonological processing abilities, i.e., efficiency of accessing phonological codes, precision of phonological codes as reflected in speech production, and precision of phonological codes as reflected in speech perception. The named phonological processing abilities were equally good measures of a secondorder phonological representation factor. While most prototypic measures were excellent indicators of first-order phonological abilities, they were only modest indicators of phonological representation.

The Role of Selected Lexical Factors on Confrontation Naming Accuracy, Speed, and Fluency in Adults Who Do and Do Not Stutter

Abstract: Results suggest that AWS could have a fundamental deficit in lexical retrieval, but this deficit is unlikely to be at the level of the word's abstract phonological representation. Implications for further research are discussed.
