Fundamental frequencies in the oral reading behavior of stuttering and nonstuttering male children.
The fundamental frequencies of the voices during oral reading of 12 stuttering and 12 nonstuttering 7-to-12-year-old males matched according to age, height, weight, and race were studied. No statistically significant differences were found between the stutterers and nonstutterers with respect to the mean fundamental frequency, the lowest fundamental frequency, the highest fundamental frequency, and the difference between the lowest and highest fundamental frequency values.
