I just saw your message (in the thread regarding Yaruss and Seth, PhD researchers): >*"Being a stutterer as long as I remember myself, I recently went to see a Optometrist, specializing in visual therapy. He is a curious guy interested in many medical and psychological areas. He asked me to write about my stuttering and situations which affect my speech. So I did it. It resulted in 5 pages including my theory of this malady . I am an electrical engineer, specializing in control theory. Therefore, I came with idea that stuttering is kind of motor control deficiency, caused by corrupted feedback."* May I read your 5 pages (or more, if you updated them in the last 3 years)? I'm profoundly fascinated. I've read many research studies on stuttering (even [summarized](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/15dltbl/megacollection_tips_to_improve_stuttering_from/) some of them). Currently, what is your viewpoint on the core of stuttering? (and I specifically mean: in your own thoughts, what could be the underlying primary symptom of our inability to initiate articulation or execute speech movements?) I believe that there are various different types of speech blocks. You mentioned: "*I came with idea that stuttering is kind of motor control deficiency, caused by corrupted feedback.*" Let's imagine that for example, poor auditory feedback causes the inability to initiate articulation. Then, how does that work exactly? Because, for example, in a 60-second speech block of complete silence, there is no auditory information (thus no auditory feedback present). I did summarize research studies that discuss corrupted feedback, such as [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/14wwyid/tips_to_improve_stuttering_from_the_research/), [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/14u05gm/tips_to_improve_stuttering_from_the_research/) and [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/14il794/tips_to_improve_stuttering_from_the_new_research/). In my own opinion, stress, anxiety, anticipation, tension and feedback could be considered triggers in one viewpoint, although when discussing the underlying primary symptom of not executing speech movements, I think we should brainstorm for ideas outside of the realm of triggers. Any ideas that you came up with in the last three years?
