During a speech block of 60-seconds - there is no sound (aka auditory feedback), and therefore there is no need for auditory processing (reinforcing overreliance on auditory information could even do more harm than good, in one viewpoint, such as, if one "learns" to associate "silence" with "I'm stuck or unable to articulate". Which is the case, if PWS reinforce overreliance on auditory feedback to decide whether to inhibit execution of speech movements \[impaired speech programming\]. **Question 1**: Could you explain how moving the attention towards auditory feedback (during a silent block) could lead to resolving the inhibition of executing speech movements? **Question 2**: How can PWS perceive errors from poor auditory processing - if there is no audio to process (in this case, during a 60s-silent-block)? **Question 3**: What are examples of perceived errors from poor auditory processing - that can lead to a 60-second-block?
