Scores in each of the symptom subtype columns are number of trials of the subtypes indicated in the sentence completion task.

Note: %SS, percent of stuttered syllable; SSI-3, Stuttering Severity Instrument Version III; OASES, Overall Assessment of the Speakers' Experience of Stuttering. PAUSES  =  pauses between characters, and prolongation of the rhythm part of the character; MR  =  multiple-character repetition; WWR  =  whole-character repetition (including the tone). This is equivalent to monosyllabic whole-word repetitions in English; PWR  =  repetition of onset consonants; PRO  =  prolongations of onset sounds. BREAK  =  word breaks.
