Neurogenic stuttering is an acquired speech disorder characterized by the occurrence of
stuttering‐like dysfluencies following brain damage. Because the onset of stuttering in these
patients is associated with brain lesions, this condition provides a unique opportunity to …

The current study was based on the hypothesis that chronic developmental stuttering in
adults involves a deficiency in oral kinesthesia. The authors used a target-accuracy task to
compare oral kinesthesia in adults who stutter (n= 17) and in normal speakers (n= 17During …

The present study compared the automaticity levels of persons who stutter (PWS) and
persons who do not stutter (PNS) on a practiced finger sequencing task under dual task
conditions. Automaticity was defined as the amount of attention required for task …

This case study describes a 16-year-old boy who started to stutter after a rotavirus infection
followed by signs suggestive of a cerebellar encephalitis. It illustrates the fact that acquired
stuttering can be observed in younger children and that it may be difficult to distinguish …

This study is part of a larger project aimed at exploring the speech, language, cognitive,
psychosocial, and medical characteristics of adult neurogenic stuttering. In the present
article, speech disfluency patterns in adults with neurogenic stuttering in two diagnostic …

Purpose Recent theoretical conceptualizations suggest that disfluencies in stuttering may
arise from several factors, one of them being atypical auditory processing. The main purpose
of the present study was to investigate whether speech sound encoding and central auditory …

Adults who stutter (AWS) have demonstrated atypical coordination of motor and sensory
regions during speech production. Yet little is known of the speech-motor network in AWS in
the brief time window preceding audible speech onset. The purpose of the current study was …

Two studies compared the accuracy and efficiency of initiating oral reading of nonsense
syllables by persons who stutter (PWS) and fluent speakers (PNS) over practise. Findings of
Study One, comparing 12 PWS and 12 PNS, replicated previous findings of slow speech …

The acquisition and mastery of speech-motor control requires years of practice spanning the
course of development. People who stutter often perform poorly on speech-motor tasks
thereby calling into question their ability to establish the stable neural motor programs …

This exploratory study investigated sensory-motor mechanisms in five people who stutter
(PWS) and five people who do not (PNS). Lip kinematic and coordination data were
recorded as they produced bi-syllabic nonwords at two rates (normal and fast) in three …
