    Abstract

    This study had the two following objectives: (1) clinical, diagnostic classification of the syndrome of cluttering and particularly the difference in symptomatology between cluttering and stuttering and between cluttering and speaking problems associated with learning disability; (2) to contribute to a (neurolinguistic) model of cluttering that provides a coherent explanation for the observed symptomatology; and elucidates the difference between cluttering and stuttering. The first part of this thesis (Chapter 2, 3, 4 and 5) focuses on evaluation of speech characteristics of persons with fluency disorders. The second part (Chapter 6 and 7) focuses on the underlying neurolinguistic processes in cluttering.
