尽管过去50年来对儿童早期口吃和正常不流利的研究已经为幼儿不流利言语行为的一般特征提供了重要的信息，但对于早期口吃还没有足够的规范参考。本报告的目的是提供这样的参考，并为临床需要鉴别诊断口吃和正常不流利提供依据。数据来自90名2岁至5岁口吃儿童和54名年龄匹配的正常流利儿童。提出了不流利类型的方法。在性别和年龄上没有发现显著差异。口吃组和流利组的口吃样不流利(SLD)有显著差异，但其他不流利(OD)没有显著差异。定义了加权SLD，以进一步澄清组之间的差异。介绍了正常流利和轻度、中度和重度口吃的不流利类型的模式。即使在口吃的最早阶段，口吃在质量和数量上也与正常的不流利程度不同。文中还讨论了其临床和研究意义。
Although the past 50 years of research on early childhood stuttering and normal disfluency have produced vital information on the general features of disfluent speech behavior of young children, an adequate normative reference for early stuttering does not exist. The purpose of this report is to provide such reference and to provide a basis for clinical needs of differential diagnosis of stuttering from normal disfluency. Data are presented from 90 stuttering children ages 2 to 5 within 6 months of stuttering onset and from 54 age-matched normally fluent children. Means for disfluency types are presented. No significant differences were found for gender or for age. Stuttering-like disfluencies (SLD) did differ significantly for the stuttering and fluent groups, but other disfluencies (OD) did not. A weighted SLD is defined to further clarify differences between the groups. The pattern of disfluency types for normally fluent and for mild, moderate, and severe stuttering is presented. Stuttering is shown to be qualitatively as well as quantitatively different from normal disfluency even at the earliest stages of stuttering. Clinical and research implications are discussed.
