The impact of threat and cognitive stress on speech motor control in people who stutter
Conclusion This study shows differential motor responses in PWS compared to controls for specific threat words. Cognitive stress was not found to affect stuttering individuals differently than controls or that its impact spreads to motor execution processes. Educational objectives : After reading this article, the reader will be able to: (1) discuss the importance of understanding how threat content influences speech motor control in people who stutter and non-stuttering speakers; (2) discuss the need to use tasks like the Emotional Stroop and Regular Stroop to separate phonetic (word-bound) based impact on fluency from ...

Participants were classified into younger (12–14 years; n =20) and older adolescents (15–17 years; n =17). Results Thirty-eight percent of participants attained at least one diagnosis of a mental disorder, according to the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical M...

Anxiety and speaking in people who stutter: An investigation using the emotional Stroop task
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Journal of Fluency Disorders, Volume 40 Author(s): Neville W. Hennessey , Esther Dourado , Janet M. Beilby People with anxiety disorders show an attentional bias towards threat or negative emotion words. This exploratory study examined whether people who stutter (PWS), who can be anxious when speaking, show similar bias and whether reactions to threat words also influence speech motor planning and execution. Comparisons were made between 31 PWS and 31 fluent controls in a modified emotional Stroop task where, depending on a visual cue, participants named the colour of threat and ne...

Stuttering in relation to anxiety, temperament, and personality: Review and analysis with focus on causality
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Journal of Fluency Disorders, Volume 40 Author(s): Per A. Alm Anxiety and emotional reactions have a central role in many theories of stuttering, for example that persons who stutter would tend to have an emotionally sensitive temperament. The possible relation between stuttering and certain traits of temperament or personality were reviewed and analyzed, with focus on temporal relations (i.e., what comes first). It was consistently found that preschool children who stutter (as a group) do not show any tendencies toward elevated temperamental traits of shyness or social anxiety compa...
