Understanding Stuttering

A phenomenological understanding of successful stuttering management.

UNLABELLED The purpose of this investigation was to understand, from the perspective of the speaker, how seven adults have been able to successfully manage their stuttering. Individual experiences were obtained across the three temporal stages (past, transitional, and current). Recurring themes were identified across participants in order to develop an essential structure of the phenomena at ea...

Understanding the complexity of stuttering experience through a self-identitylens

This paper explains the complexity of personal experience of stuttering using self-identity as a lens. It draws on a narrative life history study of five male and two female adults with developmental stuttering. Their experiences of stuttering were subjected to a narrative, interpretive analysis. Two primary self-identity trajectories viz. DisOther and Able were identified in relation to their ...

Stuttering Equivalence and Stuttering Invariance

are not. Stuttering equivalence is a fundamental concept in the theory of concurrent and distributed systems. Notably, Lamport [1] argues that refinement notions for such systems should be insensitive to finite stuttering. Peled and Wilke [2] showed that all PLTL (propositional linear-time temporal logic) properties that are insensitive to stuttering equivalence can be expressed without the nex...

Simulated stuttering in non-stuttering healthy subjects: differentiating cause from consequence in developmental stuttering

Introduction Over the past decade several functional neuroimaging studies in developmental stuttering have been published. In comparison to non-stuttering volunteers, these studies revealed that adults who stutter show overactivation in areas such as the cerebellum, supplementary motor area (SMA), right frontal operculum (RFO), and the right insula. This overactivation mostly occurs bilaterally...
