I do not think the meta is helpful and I think there’s still miscommunication. Work on this instead. Non- smooth verbal utterances (repetition, prolongation, filler word, changing words) should be described in 2 ways 1. associated w fear, done to escape a block, tend to increase panic thus resulting in more of itself 2. no fear, brief, transition smoothly to next sound, done by almost every human Regarding the word “Intervention” - I think “secondary behavior” should refer to any action thing that’s done automatically, out of fear. An intervention is anything else (eye blinking, hand flapping, etc. (I think I misspoke earlier about this).
