Tiivistelmä

Research has demonstrated children who stutter score significantly lower than children who donot stutter on the Purdue Pegboard Test. Past data also suggest performance on this task may beassociated with stuttering frequency (Choo et al., 2016; Mohammadi et al., 2016). The purpose ofthis study was to explore whether these performance differences and the relationship to stut-tering frequency are present in adults who stutter (AWS). Forty-eight participants (AWS = 24,and AWNS = 24) matched for age, gender, education, and handedness completed all four tasks ofthe Purdue Pegboard Test. There were no significant between group differences and stutteringfrequency did not predict performance. Thesefindings suggest previous differences may only beapplicable to subgroups and/or that, with development, the manual tasks unique to the PurduePegboard Test may not be sensitive enough to reveal differences.
