“…St. Louis and Hinzman () conducted one of the first studies examining SLPs perceptions of an individual who clutters. Cluttering is a fluency disorder wherein a person ‘clutters’ his or her speech, speaking at a fast rate, and often speaking unintelligibly.…”

“…Limited evidence suggests that cluttering may yield similar perceptions from listeners as does stuttering (St. Louis and Hinzman ). In this study, 126 SLPs and special educators completed a survey soliciting their views on cluttering.…”

“…In addition, the SLPs reportedly preferred to work with a client who stutters than a client who clutters. This preference was assumed to result from most SLPs’ limited knowledge of and experience in treating cluttering (St. Louis and Hinzman ). Having relatively little experience working with those who clutter may have resulted in an unfavourable perception by SLPs regarding treating this disorder.…”

Background: Previous research suggests a negative stereotype toward people with fluency disorders (i.e. stuttering and/or cluttering), although recent findings suggest that exposure to an actual person who stutters (e.g. a live or video presentation) leads to more positive perceptions of some personality traits. However, there is a paucity of research examining perceptions of a person who clutters and whether these perceptions can be modified via video exposure to cluttering. Aims: To examine the effects of video exposure to cluttering on university students' perceptions of a person who clutters. It was hypothesized that participants in the video condition would rate personality traits more positively than those who did not view the video clip. Methods & Procedures:A total of 105 undergraduate students served as participants; 54 were provided with written definition of cluttering, whereas 51 were provided with both a definition and short segment of an instructional DVD on cluttering. Students then rated a person who clutters on a variety of speech skills and personality scales. Outcomes & Results: Independent samples t-tests yielded no significant group differences in ratings of any speech skills or personality traits. However, a significantly greater number of students who viewed the video clip reported a reluctance to hire a person who clutters specifically because of the individual's fluency disorder. Additionally, participants who did not view the video clip reported having more previous instructors who cluttered than those who did view the video clip; this increased familiarity with persons who clutter may have impacted perceptions of a person who clutters. Conclusions & Implications:The present results indicate that viewing the brief video clip did not significantly influence ratings towards more positive perceptions, but also did not influence ratings to be significantly more negative on any traits. Further research is needed to compare the differences in the perceptions of listeners who have had long-term exposure to cluttered speech with those of listeners who have had brief exposure. Implications discussed include the impact of prior exposure to fluency disorders, as well as potential confusion between cluttering and 'fast speech'. These two factors may have influenced the identification rate of individuals with who clutter in the present study, which may have affected perceptions of a person who clutters.

“…Besides this intraspeaker variability, the symptoms can also differ from one speaker to another. Even though very little is known about the causes of this fluency disorder, cluttering has been characterized in the literature by as many as 65 symptoms [2] . From our point of view, the aforementioned individual and situational variability is reflected in a high articulatory variability as well.…”

In order to investigate the articulatory processes of the hasty and mumbled speech in cluttering, the kinematic variability was analysed by means of electromagnetic midsagittal articulography. In contrast to persons with stuttering, those with cluttering improve their intelligibility by concentrating on their speech task. Variability has always been an important criterion in comparable studies of stuttering and is discussed in terms of the stability of the speech motor system. The aim of the current study was to analyse the spatial and temporal variability in the speech of three persons with cluttering (PWC) and three control speakers. All participants were native speakers of German. The speech material consisted of repetitive CV syllables and loan words such as ‘emotionalisieren’, because PWC have the severest problems with long words with a complex syllable structure. The results showed a significantly higher coefficient of variation for PWC in loan word production, both in the temporal and in the spatial domain, whereas the means of displacements and durations did not differ between groups. These findings were discussed in terms of the effects of the linguistic complexity, since for the syllable repetition task, no significant differences between PWC and controls were found.
