Paper presented at the 7th Oxford Dysfluency Conference, Oxford, UK, June 29-July 2, 2005 Specifically, speech rate, dysfluency rate, and facial masseter EMG activity were assessed in several situations (while reading aloud, being interviewed, role playing a social situation, and speaking over the telephone).
