Document Summary
Motor system actions: motor planning, motor programming, motor execution. Why should you know about physiological processes in stuttering: some therapy approaches are based on the assumptions that physiological processes are abnormal, help you better evaluate if motor therapy would be useful. Articulatory system: are the articulatory systems of pws different from pwns, weird artiuclations in stuttered and fluent speech, sounds are longer in duration and articulation rate is slower, trouble moving smoothly from one phoneme to another. **huge amount of variability wihtin the motor system. Children: why study the speech motor systems of children, older individuals are usually much more aware and react more. If it was, we would see much more differences with the young kids but (cid:449)e (cid:396)eally a(cid:396)en"t finding that. Auditory processing: are the central auditory processing abilities of pws different from pwns, they typically do not do as well.
