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...

Nineteen adults who stutter participated in a 3-week intensive stuttering modification treatment program (the Successful Stuttering Management Program [SSMP]). A series of 14 fluency and affective-based measures were assessed before treatment, immediately after treatment, and 6 months after treatment. Measures included stuttering frequency; the Stuttering Severity Instrument for Children and Ad...

This case study describes a 16-year-old boy who started to stutter after a rotavirus infection followed by signs suggestive of a cerebellar encephalitis. It illustrates the fact that acquired stuttering can be observed in younger children and that it may be difficult to distinguish neurogenic from psychogenic forms of acquired stuttering in some cases. This is especially true following a diseas...

The symptomatology, reading ability, anxiety levels, responsiveness to therapy, and speechmotor behavior of elementaryand high-school children who stutter and had a positive family history of stuttering were compared with those of stutterers with a negative kinship history of stuttering. The stutterers with a positive family history of stuttering differed significantly from those whose family h...

Acquired stuttering is a disorder of the fluency of speech. The mechanism underlying stuttering is unknown. It may occur after bilateral and unilateral cortical or subcortical brain damage. We report two cases who had stuttering resulting from left parietal infarction.

objective: there are controversial reports about factors that affect recovery from stuttering. in the ‎present study, the effect of hand dominancy, fine motor and inhibition control on late ‎recovery from stuttering was investigated among a group of kurdish-persian children who ‎stuttered in iran.‎ method: twenty-two kurdish-persian children aged 7-14 years who stuttered were followed for 6 ‎ye...

UNLABELLED Positron emission tomography studies during speech have indicated a failure to show the normal activation of auditory cortical areas in stuttering individuals. In the present study, P300 event-related potentials were used to investigate possible effects of behavioral treatment on the pattern of signal amplitude and latency between waves. In order to compare variations in P300 measure...

We report neurological information and experimental data regarding acquired neurogenic stuttering in a 57-year-old male following ischemic lesion to the orbital surface of the right frontal lobe and the pons. The experimental data consist of stuttering frequency measures under various conditions that are well known to enhance fluency in most individuals with developmental stuttering. Specifical...

ccurately evaluating stuttering symptoms in both children and adults who stutter is the first step in the treatment of stuttering. Around the time of "Diagnosogenic theory" researchers collected speech samples from a large number of children, and attempted the categorization and development of indicators for evaluating people who stutter (PWS). Two global disfluency measures were introduced: St...

UNLABELLED Stuttering is an involuntary fluency disorder that is not uncommon in society. However, the impact of stuttering on a composite measure such as quality of life has rarely been estimated. Quality of life (QOL) assesses the well-being of a person from a multidimensional perspective, and valid and reliable general QOL measures are available that can be used to estimate the impact of stu...
