Overt and covert assessments of monologue and conversational speech were compared in 22 male adult stutterers immediately prior to the commencement of intensive treatment, and in 15 male adult stutterers immediately after completion of intensive treatment. There were no overall differences between covert and overt speech measures taken immediately before treatment. Immediately after intensive treatment, stuttering frequency (%SS) was significantly higher in covert evaluation than in overt evaluation, though the magnitude of the difference was small. There were no consistent covert-overt differences in speech rate (SPM). These results suggest that overt speech samples constitute a valid source of information about stutterers' 'real life' speech immediately before treatment but are less valid immediately after treatment.
在22名成年男性口吃者强化治疗开始前以及15名成年男性口吃者强化治疗结束后，对他们的独白和对话言语进行了公开和隐蔽评估。治疗前进行的公开和隐蔽言语测量总体上没有差异。强化治疗后，隐蔽评估中的口吃频率（%SS）显著高于公开评估，尽管差异幅度较小。言语速率（每分钟字数）在公开和隐蔽评估中没有一致的差异。这些结果表明，公开言语样本在治疗前是口吃者“现实生活”言语信息的有效来源，但在治疗后有效性较低。
