>What does speech motor learning mean and feedforward system? And overt execution, and inhibitory control- these are not simple words 😂🤣 Great questions! **Speech Motor Learning** is basically a process where PWS improve motor skills necessary for more fluent speech production - by developing motor plans and programs in the brain that enables more accurate and coordinated movements of the speech muscles. **Feedforward System** basically means the brain anticipating and planning motor actions before they are executed (pre-programming of motor commands) based on the desired outcome of speech movements resulting in the execution of speech motor plans, initiating articulation, or simply a continuous movement of speech muscles based on our initial desired speech plan. The other contrary part, contrary to feedforward system, is what is called feedback system where which basically means adjustments made during or after the execution of movements based on sensory feedback. **Overt execution** basically means the actual, observable performance of a speech motor action or behavior like the execution of speech movements (such as the tongue, lips, and vocal cords) to create words. It's the output of the planned motor commands generated by the brain. **Inhibitory control** basically means the ability to suppress and regulate cognitive processes or motor responses - to prevent undesired actions (such as stuttered speech, as per above research), delay responses, or inhibit automatic reactions. So, inhibitory control helps in managing the execution of speech movements, and seems to be impaired in people who stutter.
