Abstract
This study examined laterality changes in young stuttering and nonstuttering children. Subjects were given a dichotic listening task in three consecutive years to examine developmental trends. Results suggest that younger stutterers present fewer right-ear advantages than nonstuttering subjects. A shifting of ear preference was seen in both groups over the course of the study. Four of the stuttering subjects recovered from their stuttering during the study. Examination of the initial ear preferences and recovery status showed no significant relationship. Similarities between the groups and limitations of the study are discussed.
