Three adults spoke spontaneously for a total of 19 forty-minute sessions, while the experimenter tallied disfluencies. After disfluency rate stabilized, each subject was run for 14 sessions in which he was required to remain silent for a period of 10 seconds (" time-out ") contingent upon each speech disfluency. In the case of all three subjects, disfluency rate reduced essentially to zero during the early treatment sessions and remained at that low level throughout the experiment.
