That special parent is taking particular note of the child’s manner of delivering the child’s idea, calling to the attention of the child the “how” not the “what” of the child’s speech, because the father becomes anxious and wants his child to become as fluent as he has found necessary in his occupation. According to the theory, that special kind of parent, observed Johnson, may have an occupation that requires fluent speech, like a preacher, or king, or lawyer. But a certain kind of parent will ask the child to stop, take a breath, and speak slowly what he has to say. Most parents ignore the child’s nonfluency, tolerating it for what it is, normal disfluency. That has been regarded as normal nonfluency which children soon outgrow. Everyone has heard a child run into the house to mama or daddy very excited about having seen or heard something or someone strange or unusual and breathlessly trying to convey a description of the thing or event. At a very young age, children are normally nonfluent. These empirical observations are the facts from which Wendell Johnson probably derived his theoretical statement. (Remember, a “theory” is defined as a statement that attempts to account for all known facts, and if it does, the statement can be taken as a truth.) I do not know that the study in any way precludes the theory from serious consideration. The study was generally called “The Monster Study” by some who condemned it for using orphan chhildren to prove a theory. The children were hurt psychologically, and subsequently monetarily compensated, when the graduate student spent some months in 1939 conditioning them to stutter through negative reinforcement of their normal speech imperfections. He had a graduate student try to induce stuttering in an experimental study involving orphan children.

The name associated with the theory is Wendell Johnson. If it since has been discredited, I do not know. I learned one theory in a university course many years ago. In all the talk about such a vocal phenomenon regarding the movie, The King’s Speech, I have not heard the explanation that I am familiar with. The speech disturbance of abnormal fluency.
