title: The core disruption under delayed auditory feedback: evidence from adaptation study.
abstract: The present study investigated the course of adaptation of various disfluency types during five repeated oral readings under bilateral delayed auditory feedback. The results indicate that, contrary to earlier findings, a significant adaptation of disfluencies occurs during repeated oral readings under DAF. Frequency of dysrhythmic phonations and reading errors decreased significantly in successive readings whereas the frequency of part-word repetitions showed no such decrease. It is suggested that, of the many different forms of disruptions known to occur under DAF, part-word repetitions represent the most basic and persistent form of disruption.
