Summary

The overall objective of this study is to examine inter effector areas (IEAs) activity and functional connectivity during continuous speech production in stuttering adults.

Conditions

  • Stutter
  • Stuttering, Adult
  • Stuttering
  • Stuttering, Developmental

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Speech Production During functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Participants will complete a speech production task with 2 conditions (stuttered, non-stuttered) while undergoing functional MRI to assess brain activity. Brain activity will be compared within subjects for the 2 conditions. The intervention is the combination of tasks delivered to all participants. The speaking task is the intervention (modifying agent) and the MRI is a measurement tool, not a therapeutic or modifying agent.
