"a natural reaction where the dopamine release makes it easier to speak" Stuttering is associated with elevated dopamine. This is supported by many lines of research. What you're suggesting contradict...

He's not able to because he wants you to think he knows a lot so that you look into his work and buy his books. There is a reason he only promotes one persons "research". I've debunked him before, yet...

**Stuttering and the “novelty effect”** It is well known and well-documented by research, that novel conditions generally promote a temporary experience of fluency in PWS. So, for example, if one sta...

I think is very relevant to stuttering and in particular to why people who stutter so often relapse after speech therapy. Anyway, this recent development has been proposed by Professor Wolfram Schultz...

Let's all discuss this research about dopamine: "Dopamine reward prediction-error signalling: a two-component response" (2017)

I believe it is. I don't stutter when I'm drunk, or singing, so there's definitely something related to neuropathy. It's just that research hasn't been done in this field. ...

The muscles down the midline of your body are involved in the valsalva maneuver. Your mouth, larynx, abdomen, diaphragm, sphincter, et al. Imagine yourself pusbing a heavy piece of fur iture across ...

Because it's incredibly stupid to thing anything isn't possible nowadays in society. If its neurological, some type of treatment could be done. If it's genetic we could eventually see something like g...

If it's slow onset and not brain trauma or brain injury suffered from a stroke or accident, absolutely. But I wouldn't use the word 'cure' as it's not a disease and it sets a wrong expectation of ther...

No. At least not with current medical technology. It’s apparently due to the timing in our brains being off. So you’d need to somehow adjust the circuitry for it to be truly cured. Until that technol...

Did you consult a neurologist - stuttering spontaneously as an adult is quite unusual...

Stuttering isn't always caused by a traumatic event. Many neurological conditions don't have a starting point. I also don't remember the first time I stuttered. I don't doubt hypnotherapy can work for...

You are attempting to reduce stuttering to conditioning. That's an oversimplification of a disorder that has many other mechanisms that are grounded in real studies. Moreover, your basis for this theo...

That was a rhetorical question to show you that your reasoning on reward prediction error doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Nor is there any research looking at reward prediction error and stuttering. Nor...

Part 2: Here is one of my earliest attempts at summarizing all of Evan Usler's work, see my [Google drive](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vhwa6vdphscbS3beajCWBZhRkraPsEwjm8AI497Q8og/edit?usp=sha...

>*"All you're talking about is reward prediction error. There are no studies looking at this."* As you may know, I enjoy summarizing modern stuttering hypotheses from various Phd researchers and inte...

Hey man, that's interesting. It relates to a mechanism that underlies stuttering. I'm sure you've heard of dopamine before. Essentially, blinking more frequently than others is a sign of elevated dopa...

I'm sorry but books are not going to suffice for the claims you have made. Do you have any references that you can provide me? I'll gladly read them so I can understand your points further. Moreove...

Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful reply! I’m really enjoying our conversation too. Regarding the research sources cited in the VRT summary, most are derived from the following research wor...

Good observation - cognitive flexibility or switching is increasingly being linked to persistent stuttering. You are not broken - the brain has difficulties switching between different tasks with co...
