The possibility of central auditory involvement in stutterers was investigated. Five confirmed stutterers and five nonstutterers between the ages of 20 and 26 years served as subjects. The Phonetically Balanced CID W-22 Auditory Lists presented with ipsilateral and contralateral white noise broad band masking (at signal to noise ratios of 0 dB and -lOdB) and the Staggered Spondaic Word Test were utilized. No significant differences between the groups were revealed, indicating intact functioning of both groups on these tests. Possible reasons for this were postulated. Response trends exhibited by all subjects were discussed.
