Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how different attention tasks, like sustained attention and working memory, affect speech fluency in adults who stutter compared to fluent speakers, finding that both groups showed fewer disfluencies under dual task conditions.
  • The reduction in stutter-like disfluencies occurred regardless of whether the secondary task involved attention or working memory, and these fluency improvements were not linked to changes in speech rate or language complexity.
  • Results suggest that dividing attention can actually help improve speech fluency, indicating that simple attention manipulations might be useful in clinical treatments for stuttering.]
