Summary:Discussed is the importance of both clinical observation & experimental research in the study of stuttering. It is noted that while experimental research in stuttering has generally served to validate observations obtained in more naturalistic or clinical settings, clinical observations have served to form the foundation of what is now known about speech disorders. However, this is not to say that all naturalistic or clinical observation promotes better understanding of speech disfluencies. A number of problems associated with research conducted in naturalistic settings are addressed in a commentary of a case study conducted by D. E. Mowrer (1998). Considered in depth are (1) the role of parental observation & after-the-fact reconstructions & interpretations of events & (2) possible emotional factors contributing to the subject's disfluency. 4 References.
