ImpactModerate impact

The dialogues suggest the publication may influence perspectives on therapy strategies for children who stutter but are cautious about immediate applications.

Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how performing a dual task that requires sustained attention affects speech fluency, rate, and language productivity in school-age children with and without stuttering, finding that attention diversion actually reduced stutter-like disfluencies.
  • The results showed similar effects for both groups, suggesting that diverting attention might improve speech automaticity, thus enhancing fluency, and these effects were not due to changes in language productivity or order effects.
  • The researchers conclude that further studies are needed to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms behind these improvements and to explore possible clinical applications for children who stutter.
