Stuttering is a speech disorder during which the flow of interrupted by involuntary pauses and repetition sounds. identification an interesting interdisciplinary domain research problem involving pathology, psychology, acoustics, signal processing, making it hard complicated to detect.

Drug-induced stuttering has been described in association with several drugs, in particular antipsychotics, antidepressants and mood stabilizers. Stuttering, also called spasmophemia or stammering, is a speech disorder characterized by disruptions in speech motor behaviour (repeated or prolonged articulatory and phonatory actions) that result in sound and syllable repetitions, audible and inaud...

This paper provides a brief overview of stuttering followed by a synopsis of current approaches to treat stuttering in children and adults. Treatment is discussed in terms of multifactorial, operant, speech restructuring, and anxiolytic approaches. Multifactorial and operant treatments are designed for young children who stutter. Both of these approaches involve parent training and differ prima...

PURPOSE Previous studies have produced conflicting results with regard to the association between birth weight and developmental stuttering. This study sought to determine whether birth weight was associated with childhood and/or adolescent stuttering in three British birth cohort samples. METHODS Logistic regression analyses were carried out on data from the Millenium Cohort Study (MCS), Bri...

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...

The main feature of stuttering is the disturbance in terms of both timing and fluency of speech inappropriate with the age. This disturbance is characterized with the repetition and prolongation of sounds and syllables. There are two types of stuttering as acquired and developmental. Acquired stuttering may begin suddenly at any age and may be seen rarely due to the adverse effects of drugs. St...

This paper examines the benefits of using CBT-techniques as a therapeutic tool within the treatment of stuttering. Stuttering is a complex disorder that involves not only speech disfluencies but also psychological and interpersonal problems as a consequence of the interaction of thoughts, emotions and behaviour. This case study describes CBT carried out with a young woman with stuttering diffic...

Muscle spindles are increasingly recognized as playing a pivotal role in the cause of dystonia. This development and own laryngeal observations that support the idea of causally "well-intentioned" stuttering motivated us to present the following hypothesis: stuttering events compensate for a sensory problem that arises when the abductor/adductor ratio of afferent impulse rates from the posterio...
