Abstract(in English) Investigated how the length of sentence and articulation of initial mola, as factors of stuttering, affect latency for reading aloud from memory. Eighteen undergraduate students nonstuttering served as subjects, on the assumption of disfluency continuity between normal speakers and stutters. Twenty Japanese syllables were selected for initial mola, with which five sentences in various length were made. Subjects were asked to memorize a sentence and then pronounce it after signal as quickly as possible. The latency, time from the onset of the signal to the onset of speech energy, was longer as the number of mola increased, indicating longer motor programming for longer sentences. Fricatives had a latency advantage over plosives. Although it was hypothesized that the effect of sentence length and the difficulty in articulation would interact in a multiplying way, this hypothesis was not confumed. These results may suggest that the two factors operate in an additive way.
