“…It may be that increased awareness of internal body sensations facilitates the processing of responses to stuttering, especially prior to overt speech. Interoception abilities likely play a role in the anticipation of stuttering events (Garcia- Barrera and Davidow, 2015;Rodgers and Jackson, 2021), so knowledge of upcoming speech difficulties (e.g., being more in tune with when one is going to stutter) may help a person respond productively when sensing that stuttering will occur. For example, they may be able to be more mindful so that they can implement more adaptive responses (Jackson et al, 2015).…”

“…Still, sensorimotor accounts cannot entirely explain this multifactorial disorder by themselves. Other work points to the involvement of interoception, or the awareness of internal body sensations, particularly with respect to how interoception relates to the anticipation of stuttering events (Garcia- Barrera and Davidow, 2015;Rodgers and Jackson, 2021). Importantly, interoception has been linked to timing skills (Craig, 2009;Meissner and Wittmann, 2011), and other disorders impacted by timing deficits, such as Tourette's syndrome, are associated with compromised interoceptive systems (Mioni et al, 2016;Vicario and Felmingham, 2018;Graziola et al, 2020;Vicario et al, 2020).…”

Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental speech disorder associated with motor timing that differs from non-stutterers. While neurodevelopmental disorders impacted by timing are associated with compromised auditory-motor integration and interoception, the interplay between those abilities and stuttering remains unexplored. Here, we studied the relationships between speech auditory-motor synchronization (a proxy for auditory-motor integration), interoceptive awareness, and self-reported stuttering severity using remotely delivered assessments. Results indicate that in general, stutterers and non-stutterers exhibit similar auditory-motor integration and interoceptive abilities. However, while speech auditory-motor synchrony (i.e., integration) and interoceptive awareness were not related, speech synchrony was inversely related to the speaker’s perception of stuttering severity as perceived by others, and interoceptive awareness was inversely related to self-reported stuttering impact. These findings support claims that stuttering is a heterogeneous, multi-faceted disorder such that uncorrelated auditory-motor integration and interoception measurements predicted different aspects of stuttering, suggesting two unrelated sources of timing differences associated with the disorder.

“…Interestingly, most of these networks (i.e., SCN, DMN, and SN) have been suggested to have a role in negative reactions to stuttering, thus likely contributing to the development of social anxiety (Alm, 2014). As in a vicious circle, this anxiety is reinforced by the anticipation of stuttering which increases in extent and complexity throughout development (Jackson et al, 2015(Jackson et al, , 2018(Jackson et al, , 2019Rodgers and Jackson, 2021), thus possibly resulting in further repetitive and negative thinking or rumination (Tichenor and Yaruss, 2020). Interestingly, Orpella et al (2024) suggest that this may result in a further abnormal involvement of control on processes during speech production, especially prior to anticipated and stuttered (vs. fluent) speech (Jackson et al, 2022).…”

Developmental stuttering (DS) is a neurodevelopmental speech-motor disorder characterized by symptoms such as blocks, repetitions, and prolongations. Persistent DS often has a significant negative impact on quality of life, and interventions for it have limited efficacy. Herein, we briefly review existing research on the neurophysiological underpinnings of DS -specifically, brain metabolic and default mode/social-cognitive networks (DMN/SCN) anomalies- arguing that psychedelic compounds might be considered and investigated (e.g., in randomized clinical trials) for treatment of DS. The neural background of DS is likely to be heterogeneous, and some contribution from genetically determinants of metabolic deficiencies in the basal ganglia and speech-motor cortical regions are thought to play a role in appearance of DS symptoms, which possibly results in a cascade of events contributing to impairments in speech-motor execution. In persistent DS, the difficulties of speech are often linked to a series of associated aspects such as social anxiety and social avoidance. In this context, the SCN and DMN (also influencing a series of fronto-parietal, somato-motor, and attentional networks) may have a role in worsening dysfluencies. Interestingly, brain metabolism and SCN/DMN connectivity can be modified by psychedelics, which have been shown to improve clinical evidence of some psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc.) associated with psychological constructs such as rumination and social anxiety, which also tend to be present in persistent DS. To date, while there have been no controlled trials on the effects of psychedelics in DS, anecdotal evidence suggests that these agents may have beneficial effects on stuttering and its associated characteristics. We suggest that psychedelics warrant investigation in DS.

“…Authors also highlighted that stutterers were twice as likely as those who did not stammer to have difficulty sleeping or staying asleep (15%). A study was conducted to analyze the temperaments of children who stutter and not stutter (Rodgers & Jackson, 2021). It was asserted that stutterers' temperament may be thought of as a mirror through which they react to anticipation.…”

Earlier studies established the role of demographic and temperamental features (DTFs) in the adaptation of childhood stuttering. However, these studies have been short on examining the latent interrelationships among DTFs and not utilizing them in predicting this disorder. This research article endeavors to examine latent interrelationships among DTFs in relation to childhood-stuttering. The purpose of the present is also to analyze whether DTFs can be utilized in predicting the likely risk of this speech disorder. Historical data on childhood stuttering was utilized for performing the invloved experiments of this research. “Structural-Equation-Modeling” (SEM) was applied to examine latent interrelationships among DTFs in relation to stuttering. The predictive analytics approach was employed to ensure whether DTFs of children can be utilized for predicting the likely risk of childhood-stuttering. SEM-based path analysis explored potential latent interrelationships among DTFs by separating them into categories of background and intermediate. By utilizing the same set of the DTFs, predictive models were able to classify children into stuttering and non-stuttering groups with optimal prediction accuracy. The outcomes of this study showed how the stuttering related historical data can be utilized in offering healthcare solutions for individuals with stuttering disorder. The outcomes of the present study also suggest that historical data on stuttering is a very rich source of hidden trends and patterns concerning this disorder. These hidden trends and patterns can be captured by applying a different type of structural and predictive modeling to understand the cause-and-effect relationship among variables in relation to stuttering. The SEM utilizes the cause-and-effect relationship among variables to explore latent-interrelationships between them. While predictive modeling utilizes the cause-and-effect relationship among variables to predict the possible risk of stuttering with optimal prediction accuracy.
