Abstract

The electronic appts. is usable to determine the fluency of a person's speech. This appts. may monitor a dialogue directly, may be connected to a telephone to monitor a dialogue, or may be connected to be responsive to a recording of the dialogue. The appts. determines the number of hesitation pauses of joint silence of both persons bounded by speech uttered by the subject which pauses are in excess of a time interval in the order of one second to time. The appts. given an indication, either visible or audible, when the number of such pauses exceeds a presettable limit per unit of time. The appts. may be used by the medical profession to determine a subject's proneness to clinical coronary atherosclerosis where the rate of such hesitation pauses is in excess of a presettable value.
