How does our APPROACH-AVOIDANCE conflict work? (that result in stuttering) In my opinion: I'd like to propose an example.. this is simply one possibility: Fear of being judgemental (the stimulus), and fear response (the reaction). The narrative: "We don't want people to know we stutter" (strengthening the stimulus-reaction mechanism). The perceived value of the stimulus: "The closer we become with a cute girl, the more we don't want to stutter, or the more this stutter mechanism evokes a panic reaction or fight-flight-freeze reaction". The conditioned suppression + manifestations: "speaking slowly, and other outwards manifested behaviors by trying not to stutter" \~\~ Your thoughts? !! So fear of being judged does not necessarily trigger stuttering. However, if this fear of being judged triggers our approach-avoidance conflict (or panic response, or fight-flight freeze response), then a stuttering block occurs. But only IF we continue speaking during an approach-avoidance conflict. Fluency occurs once the approach-avoidance conflict or cognitive conflict has been resolved before speech articulation is executed. How do you view this?
