The Effect of Auditory Masking on the Fluency of Normal Speakers
Franklin H. Silverman, Marjorie Tylke Goodban · Journal of Speech and Hearing Research · 1972
The effect of masking noise on the disfluency frequency of 20 adult nonstutterers was investigated. The majority of the subjects became more fluent under this condition. This suggests that an increase in fluency when speaking in the presence of masking noise does not differentiate stutterers from normal speakers.
