“…It is worth mentioning that the findings were similar to a study that showed both the statistically significant effect on the reduction in the frequency of stuttering, and also there was no significant effect on the speech rate with DAF [37][38][39] . Therefore, the data suggest that the reduction of stuttering with the effect of DAF is not directly related to the reduction of the speech rate.…”

Purpose: to compare the frequency of disfluencies and speech rate in spontaneous speech and reading in adults with and without stuttering in non-altered and delayed auditory feedback (NAF, DAF).Methods: participants were 30 adults: 15 with Stuttering (Research Group -RG), and 15 without stuttering (Control Group -CG). The procedures were: audiological assessment and speech fluency evaluation in two listening conditions, normal and delayed auditory feedback (100 milliseconds delayed by Fono Tools software).Results: the DAF caused a significant improvement in the fluency of spontaneous speech in RG when compared to speech under NAF. The effect of DAF was different in CG, because it increased the common disfluencies and the total of disfluencies in spontaneous speech and reading, besides showing an increase in the frequency of stuttering--like disfluencies in reading. The intergroup analysis showed significant differences in the two speech tasks for the two listening conditions in the frequency of stuttering-like disfluencies and in the total of disfluencies, and in the flows of syllable and word-per--minute in the NAF.Conclusion: the results demonstrated that delayed auditory feedback promoted fluency in spontaneous speech of adults who stutter, without interfering in the speech rate. In non-stuttering adults an increase occurred in the number of common disfluencies and total of disfluencies as well as reduction of speech rate in spontaneous speech and reading.

“…Therefore, according to the dual premotor system model 16 , 17 , choral speech enhanced fluency by providing external cues for the timing of each syllable and compensated for deficient internal cues from the basal ganglia to the SMA. The observed fluency-enhancing effect of choral speech was consistent with previous studies 22 23 24 .…”

OBJECTIVES:In this study, we compared the performance of both fluent speakers and people who stutter in three different speaking situations: monologue speech, oral reading and choral reading. This study follows the assumption that the neuromotor control of speech can be influenced by external auditory stimuli in both speakers who stutter and speakers who do not stutter.METHOD:Seventeen adults who stutter and seventeen adults who do not stutter were assessed in three speaking tasks: monologue, oral reading (solo reading aloud) and choral reading (reading in unison with the evaluator). Speech fluency and rate were measured for each task.RESULTS:The participants who stuttered had a lower frequency of stuttering during choral reading than during monologue and oral reading.CONCLUSIONS:According to the dual premotor system model, choral speech enhanced fluency by providing external cues for the timing of each syllable compensating for deficient internal cues.

“…Speech paced with external timing cues. When speakers who stutter speak to the beat of an external rhythm such as a metronome, during singing, or in unison with another person (choral speech), stuttering is markedly reduced and almost completely fluent even in the most severe cases (Park & Logan, 2015). Such techniques are also associated with more "normalized" brain activation patterns (i.e., similar to activation patterns found in nonstuttering speakers), such as increased left frontotemporal activation, and reduced motor activation, including right frontal opercular areas ( Maguire and others 2004).…”

Functional and Neuroanatomical Bases of Developmental Stuttering: Current Insights

Affecting 5% of all preschool-aged children, developmental stuttering -- also called childhood onset fluency disorder-- is a complex, multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by frequent disruption of the fluent flow of speech. Over the past two decades, neuroimaging studies of both children and adults who stutter have begun to provide significant insights into the neurobiological bases of stuttering. This review highlights convergent findings from this body of literature with a focus on functional and structural neuroimaging results that are supported by theoretically-driven neurocomputational models of speech production. Updated views on possible mechanisms of stuttering onset and persistence, and perspectives on promising areas for future research into the mechanisms of stuttering are discussed.
