What is the real reason stuttering is triggered? Were we always wrong? And does sympathetic arousal actually trigger STUTTERING? NEW research: "Skin conductance responses during stuttered and fluent speech in adults who stutter with overt versus covert stuttering profiles" (2024, July)

What is the real reason stuttering is triggered? Were we always wrong? And does sympathetic arousal actually trigger STUTTERING? NEW research: "Skin conductance responses during stuttered and fluent s...

Not necessarily. I developed a stutter at age 55, believed to be caused by medication, but they’re not certain because I have some anbnormal changes in my brain on MRI scan. I will be seeing a special...

Oh I'm sorry I think you misunderstood. I did NOT say that stutterers in general are mentally underdeveloped. I stutter myself and left highschool with a 3.8 GPA Stuttering can be a sign of a stroke ...

Define mental underdevelopment. Stutterers on average have a higher IQ than the wider population. There is no link between mental acuity and stuttering....

Ok I see. To summarize what you said.. If you write you leave out key words. If you are referring to executive functions and inhibitory control, then yes there is an enormous amount of research on stu...

It seems that the defense mechanism (that prevents the execution of speech movements) can also activate (kick in) without prior strong emotional cues. This is shown in the 2-system model (in above ima...

I’m not sure if it’s related to stuttering or not and I’ve never really had any one I could ask before. I’ve talked to other stutterers and we seem to do the same thing, whenever we write somethin...

Speech therapy doesn't work for all stutterers. I have a very severe stutter and it's likely neurological - it happens in every situation, every day, and I've had it since I was a toddler. I'm now app...

IMO, people with a stutter will probably never be completely fluent. The latest research shows that it's a neurological disorder. However, anxiety and tiredness can make it worse. Personally, I find t...

Thank you so much. I will soon read the files you shared with me. I've noticed that you mentioned 'Eric S Jackson'. I've actually summarized a few of his research studies.. this is one of them if you...

The course I did was on speechpathology.com. it was course #10557, titled "motor speech components of stuttering: clinical applications across the lifespan". The title is not very representative of t...

Hi. Stuttering is definitely neurological. It’s an ebb and flow thing so you’ll have certain moments where you’re more fluent than others, you’re probably more comfortable at home with your family so ...

Yes I'm actually very interested in your notes/citations. I'd be happy to read them. Yes, I agree with everything you said. I also found this research very interesting about the cause of stuttering: ...

But. This is still incomplete. How do I know if I'm ready to execute speech plans? Here I'd say that (conscious) feelings and thoughts are likely not relevant (even if we think they are). So, how can...

I recently did a ceu course where they talked a lot about the most recent research on the causes of stuttering. I would have to look at my notes for the specifics, but the gist of it is that stutterin...

To expand further on this, I feel like the real issue; from a software/ speaking methodology perspective, it's more to do with how we respond to the crash. We ignore the underlying mechanism and keep ...

There are many theories about stuttering, but I believe they are still incomplete.. in other words, somewhat invalid or incorrect?! I mean, let's assume for a second that, in people who stutter.. th...

That's the thing isn't it? That's why there's so much tension around the subject of recovery. There's a subtly there where, if it's curable simply by doing things differently, than that subtly feels...

yesss i do stutter in my thoughts like this. Makes me think that my stutter is definitely caused by my brain and not whether i’m stressed/nervous or not taking enough breaths when speaking...

All I can say is you have a predisposition to it—it’s a neurological glitch. But stuttering is easily affected by stress. So you already had a predisposition to stutter and when you were at the ag...
