It can't. It's potentially a start towards something but in its current form it is not comprehensive. To get to some "grand unified theory of stuttering" we're going to have to link multiple theories ...

TL;DR (always put a TL;DR when posting a multi-page article) - thinking to yourself ("inner speech") sends the same signals to muscles as speech but also sends a "stop" command. stuttering is caused...

A New Theory On Stuttering

A New Theory On Stuttering I saw this link on a FB group yesterday. I read it and it sounds pretty credible. Thoght I'd pass it along. It talks about inner speech and movement and how it could expl...

I see. It would affect the neuromusculature of the mouth, although the mechanisms trigger at certain times (normally moments before talking)...

I just meant to point out that saying genetic factors were a mechanical problem with one's mouth was an oversimplification and strawman argument....

Just because you are not genetically programmed for something does not mean you can't work hard at it and improve. Lots of people aren't born to be great at something, but they work at it and become g...

There several aspects in this article that I find fascinating. Primarily it's the discovery of this gen glitch and that it also could be used to better understand and possible treat human stuttering. ...

Mice made to stutter!

Mice made to stutter! whats your thoughts on this? Tia http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/mice-stutter-stammer-human-speech-a6984986.html...

damn it man, me too. This proves that we can fix it, it's not only genetic. It's linked to our perception....

exaclty, as I do. Well, I stutter just a bit, but it's not in every sentence. I think that it proves the pshycological dimension of the problem....

I'm another stutterer who was in "gifted and talented" programs as a kid due to my IQ. The only other stutterers I've met have been neurologists (two of them) and a math professor, but that's probably...

I've met over a hundred people who stutter, and anecditally this doesn't ring true for me. I know a lot of smart stutterers, but then I know a lot of real idiots too. ...

Stuttering linked to higher intelligence and reasons for that?

Stuttering linked to higher intelligence and reasons for that? Occasionally, there are articles that come out, such [this one](http://guardianlv.com/2013/08/stuttering-children-more-intelligent-accord...

It made me obsessed with linguistics in general and drove me to learn a few languages (to see if I would stutter less in a different way of speaking). Others mentioned compassion. I agree with that. ...

No, I can't, because the science isn't done yet! But I can assure you it's not your fault :) Also, memory is complex too, so you don't have to necessarily connect it to your stutter....

This is actually a really complicated question and a lot of research is being done to understand it. Stuttering in young children naturally has a high recovery rate-- as many as 80-90% of kids who stu...

I think we may be talking about different things. Kids learn easier than adults. But I haven't seen anything to attribute or explain whether or not you grow out of stuttering to neuroplasticity. ...

Are you sure? I could have sworn that that is the reason why speech therapy is actually effective in young children (ie. they outgrow stuttering). Their neural pathways are able to reorganize, whereas...

It's not neuroplasticity that outgrows stuttering. At least there's no evidence for it. ...

I was flown to the Natl Inst of Health in DC as they were doing a study on what caused stuttering. Apparently, I am an anomaly as no one in my family stutters. I did have ear infections as s child b...
