I have no knowledge of YT video editing, but once we finish the diagram, maybe you can help me with creating a web series or YT playlist? However, I don’t think a web series on 'random important things' about stuttering is the best approach. If I were to work on YT videos, I’d prefer to focus on creating practical content aimed at stuttering remission i.e., the 'extinction of the conditioned stimulus'. To clarify this further: >*"When a conditioned stimulus is presented alone, so that it no longer predicts the coming of the unconditioned stimulus, conditioned responding gradually stops. For example, after Pavlov's dog was conditioned to salivate at the sound of a metronome, it eventually stopped salivating to the metronome after the metronome had been sounded repeatedly but no food came. Many anxiety disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder are believed to reflect, at least in part, a failure to extinguish conditioned fear."* **Examples of neutral stimuli in everyday life** >The sound of a ringing telephone >Imagine that every time the phone rings in your house, it does not produce any particular reaction in you. The sound of the telephone ringing is a neutral stimulus in this situation. However, if you begin to associate that sound with an important call or good news, over time you might experience a feeling of anticipation or excitement when hearing the ring, turning it into a conditioned stimulus.
