Hi, Kenneth and Emily, In your study the persons from the clutterer group have been made hesitations both longer AND shorter than one second in their speech. But what was the distribution of the hesitation durations (in msec or sec)? If you have such data, the reasonable question would be if it makes sense to be put such of non-empirical frontier of 1 sec to define hesitation? It would be interesting if several subgroups appear, for example? Thus, the different classes and types of hesitations could appear from the data analysis, not from subjective assumptions. Thanks for sharing with us your new ideas. Each reveals a new field of investigation the “irregular” rate of the clutterer speech. Thanks.
