Stuttering Generalization Self-Measure: Preliminary Development of a Self-Measuring Tool
Publication date: Available online 29 May 2017 Source:Journal of Fluency Disorders Author(s): Mohammad Alameer, Lotte Meteyard, David Ward Introduction Generalization of treatment is considered a difficult task for clinicians and people who stutter (PWS), and can constitute a barrier to long-term treatment success. To our knowledge, there are no standardized tests that collect measurement of the behavioral and cognitive aspects alongside the client's self-perception in real-life speaking situations. Purpose This paper describes the preliminary development of a Stuttering Generalization Self-Measure (SGSM). The purpos...

Atypical non-verbal sensorimotor synchronization in adults who stutter may be modulated by auditory feedback
Publication date: Available online 27 May 2017 Source:Journal of Fluency Disorders Author(s): Robert van de Vorst, Vincent L. Gracco Purpose To investigate if non-verbal sensorimotor synchronization abilities in adult individuals who stutter (IWS) differ from non-stuttering controls (NS) under various performance conditions (tempo, auditory feedback, use of hands [single/both] and rhythm). Methods Participants were 11 IWS (5 males, 6 females, Mean age =25.8, SD =8.7) and 11 age- and gender-matched controls (Mean age =24.4, SD =8.4). During the experiment, participants were asked to prepare three melodies and subsequen...

Altered morphology of nucleus accumbens in persistent developmental stuttering
Conclusion Recent theories of basal ganglia functions suggest that the nucleus accumbens is a motivation-to-movement interface. A speaker intends to reach communicative goals, but stuttering can derail these efforts. It is therefore highly plausible to find alterations in the motivation-to-movement interface in stuttering. While behavioral studies of stuttering sought to find links between the limbic and sensorimotor system, we provide the first neuroimaging evidence of alterations in the limbic system. Thus, our findings might initialize a unified neurobiological framework of persistent developmental stuttering that integ...

A preliminary study on the neural oscillatory characteristics of motor preparation prior to dysfluent and fluent utterances in adults who stutter
Conclusion While the lack of significant differences may have resulted from the relatively low numbers of stuttered utterances across subjects, the observed trends demonstrated that the proposed methodology and experimental paradigm is a promising approach for future studies aiming to characterize differences between stuttered and fluent speech.

The relationship between the experience of stuttering and demographic characteristics of adults who stutter
Conclusion Our results indicated that, within our cohort, age and marital status are significantly associated with the personal experience of stuttering, whereas gender is not. In addition, the Hebrew version of the OASES-A is valid and comparable with equivalent versions in other languages. This facilitates the application of the OASES-A in future clinical and research settings. (Source: Journal of Fluency Disorders)

A systematic literature review of neuroimaging research on developmental stuttering between 1995 and 2016
Conclusions There are widespread abnormalities in the structural architecture and functional organization of the brains of adults and children who stutter. These are evident not only in speech tasks, but also non-speech tasks. Future research should make greater use of functional neuroimaging and noninvasive brain stimulation, and employ structural methodologies that have greater sensitivity. Newly planned studies should also investigate sex differences, focus on augmenting treatment, examine moments of dysfluency and longitudinally or cross-sectionally investigate developmental trajectories in stuttering.

A pilot study into a possible relationship between diet and stuttering
Conclusion The findings do not support notions of dietary influences of ingested copper or thiamine on stuttering but do provide modest support for a relationship between variations in stuttering and self-perceived anxiety. (Source: Journal of Fluency Disorders)
