Question: Given that we can't change genetic factors, how can we improve our mindset and attitude to better influence speech motor performance affected by attentional focus?

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and respond. We do share the same passion for understanding stuttering. However, are you trying to say that "auto-pilot speech" like "controlled speech, ...

Thanks for bringing this 1972 study to my attention! It's interesting that they noticed the impact of "complicated motor planning" on stuttering. Here's another study discussing the brain activation o...

"We may continue speaking when the basal ganglia say no" The basal ganglia are involved in speech whether we like it or don't like it. They are essential. In reply to your question: **"**What do ...

Exactly! From my understanding dopamine antagonists can improve stuttering by skipping/ignoring the evaluatoin process. So.. what I mean by that is.. let's for example consider that a stutterer does n...

I think the problem is dopamine. Risperdal hasn't helped before but I want to try another dopamine antagonist. The environment I was talking about was the inside of the house. What you wrote is correc...

If we have a stutter but don’t feel social anxiety or pressure, then it must be MORE neurological, right? But can’t we stop things that have gone into the subconscious? With OCD medications or another...

*Comment #4:* *You stated: "reduced neuronal energy and potentially results from the synergy of decreased aerobic energy production, cellular hypoxia, decreased cerebral blood flow, decreased lysosom...

I would argue that most PWS may not even be aware of the perceived or anticipated error, panic response, or approach-avoidance conflict as long as they rely on controlled processes or auto-pilot speec...

Hi there! Stuttering is a motor speech disorder that originates in the brain. Your facial structure has nothing to do with stuttering. Good luck on your plastic surgery consult!...

When your stutter got better or worse, were there any changes in your life - meds, environment, stress, etc? I've stuttered all my life, but nowadays I rarely stutter. 9 months ago, I posted here ab...

Yes I think you are right, in that, young children can be corrected faster. I think this might be partly due to their strong cognitive interference when they grow older (when their neocortex is fully ...

See my reply explaining side-effects of stuttering in response to your similar comment above.   Biden has been famous for his verbal gaffes for his entire career. Also, in videos of Trump 20 years ago...

A stutterer is actually thinking twice as hard as everyone else because on top of thinking and speaking, they're always planning--and changing--how to get words to come out of their mouth correctly.  ...

In your own thoughts. What do brain scans say or prove or confirm? (between stutterers who recovered versus stutterers who persist)

In your own thoughts. What do brain scans say or prove or confirm? (between stutterers who recovered versus stutterers who persist) As per the title, I can't link to research or discuss research (as I...

It’s often the transition from the vowel and onto the neighboring consonant that’s actually the problem. The vowel is being pronounced but it won’t move onto the next sound. Also, the brain timer insi...

I am not a PWS but rather a speech therapist. It’s unlikely that a tonsillectomy would make any difference with this neurological and often hereditary condition. Curious… how old are you and how old i...

Yea this is pretty interesting. This guy has been stuttering severely from birth (congenital stuttering) just like myself and this worked for him. He mentioned neurogenesis being what truly occurred h...
