although other nursery rhymes were also selected. The average SPS rates are shown below in Table 4: Table 4: Articulatory Rates of Clutterers and Controls Reciting Nursery Rhymes (Syllables/sec.) Rate Condition Clutterers Controls ▼ Comfortable 4.94 4.67 Faster 5.59 6.04 For this task we once again find only small differences between the groups. The control group, fact, displays a higher SPS rate than the cluttering group in the faster rate condition: .45 SPS greater. In contrast, the clutterers produced .27 SPS more than the controls at the comfortable rate. The ranges of SPS values for the two groups are very much like those for the reading passage: With the exception of the comfortable rate, the ranges lie controls’ within those of the clutterers (Table 5): Table 5: Ranges of Articulatory Rates of Clutterers and Controls Reciting Nursery Rhymes Rate Condition Clutterers Controls ▼ Comfortable 3.53 7.00 3.05 5.85 ▬► ▬► Faster 4.29 7.78 4.72 7.50 ▬► ▬► The overlap of the ranges again indicates that there are clutterers producing syllables more slowly than controls at both rates, and vice-versa.
