If it's true that this research study highlights the influence of the speaker's belief on whether speech is truly private. Then, the question we can bring up from this, is, why did PWS link "beliefs" to inhibiting execution of speech movements (aka **conditioned response**)? (because this will only limit our speech performance) The logical follow-up question is, how exactly do PWS justify this **conditioned response**? Do the following reasons reinforce this justification: * acting or immersing oneself as if one is a PWS * believing in a vulnerable speech motor system making oneself more error prone to feedforward processes or sensitive to triggers (see chapter 4.3, in the same paper) * allowing or justifying execution of speech movements in certain situations (e.g., when alone, when feeling confident, when not experiencing triggers, when not feeling judged, when not thinking or worrying about stuttering, when singing, when doing a silly voice (or accent) etc)
