You both may agree with each other's concepts, but are explaining it in different ways, such as, Delphin could imply that anxiety doesn't always lead to stuttering or maybe we don't always stutter during anxiety, such as implicated by [Per Alm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaqT7cZdWSw&t=40s&ab_channel=SchneiderSpeech) (PhD researcher) (see 53:35 minutes in the YT video): "*Relaxing could increase stuttering, for example, if a subgroup of children are relaxed at home, while they stutter more at home than at school. They are simply letting their hair down, not wearing Tuxedo's but comfortable pajamas*." While Lemindfleya may imply that stuttering more during authority stress is basically speech-and-anxiety related. Both of you make a valid point, in that, if primary and secondary stuttering events/behaviors are truly influenced by classical/operant [conditioning](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F53tdhmpm6gcc1.png), then one could consider fluency demands surrounding stress (as per Lemindfleya) or other (as per Delphin) major elements that likely impacts our stuttering.
