This paper reviews issues in speech motor control and a class of communication disorders
known as motor speech disorders. Speech motor control refers to the systems and strategies …

This article reviews some of our recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
studies of stuttering. Using event-related fMRI experiments, we investigated brain activation …

Stuttering and Cluttering provides a clear, accessible and wide-ranging overview of both the
theoretical and clinical aspects of two disorders of fluency: stuttering and cluttering. This …

This paper investigates the hypothesis that stuttering may result in part from impaired
readout of feedforward control of speech, which forces persons who stutter (PWS) to …

There is recent evidence of focal alteration in fibre tracts underlying the left sensorimotor
cortex in persistent developmental stuttering (PDS)[Lancet 360 (2002) 380]. If, as proposed …

The present paper integrates the results of experimental studies in which cognitive
differences between stuttering and nonstuttering adults were investigated. In a monitoring …

Stuttering requires a multidimensional perspective given that, in recent years, researchers
have shown the impact of the disorder to reach far beyond the surface components with …

Several studies of utterance planning and attention processes in stuttering have raised the
prospect of working memory involvement in the disorder. In this paper, potential connections …

The authors review converging lines of evidence from behavioral, kinematic, and
neuroimaging data that point to limitations in speech motor skills in people who stutter …

In this exploratory study, we investigated whether or not people who stutter (PWS) show
motor practice and learning changes similar to those of people who do not stutter (PNS). To …
