The stuttering boy.

Acquired stuttering in a 16-year-old boy

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...

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...

The epigenesis of stuttering.

UNLABELLED This paper examines the data on which the Demands and Capacities Model (DCM) is based with the purpose of identifying areas where future research might determine consilience among genetic influences at the physiological, behavioral, and cultural levels. The determination of consilience across different levels would tend to validate the genetic influence on stuttering, but more import...

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...
