Recent research suggests that a modified habit reversal procedure, including awareness training alone or combined with competing response training, is effective in decreasing speech disfluencies for college students. However, these procedures are potentially lengthy, sometimes require additional booster sessions, and could result in covariation of untargeted speaker behavior. We extended prior investigations by evaluating awareness training as a sole intervention while also measuring collateral effects of treatment on untargeted filler words and rate of speech. We found awareness training was effective for all participants without the use of booster sessions, and covariation between targeted filler words and secondary dependent variables was idiosyncratic across participants.
最近的研究表明，一种改良的习惯逆转程序，包括单独的意识训练或与竞争反应训练相结合，对减少大学生的言语不流畅是有效的。然而，这些程序可能需要很长时间，有时需要额外的强化课程，并且可能导致非目标性说话行为的共同变化。我们通过评估意识训练作为单一干预措施来扩展先前的研究，同时还测量了治疗对非目标性填充词和言语率的附带影响。我们发现，在不使用强化课程的情况下，意识训练对所有参与者都是有效的，并且目标填充词和次要因变量之间的共同变化在参与者之间是特殊的。
