Speech Processing in Stuttering

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Stuttering, Adult; Stuttering, Childhood; Stuttering
• Interventions: Behavioral: Speech and non-speech tasks

• Registration Number: NCT04929184
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

This research is being done to better understand stuttering, specifically how people who stutter may process and/or produce speech. Eligible participants enrolled will complete a variety of computer and speech-based tasks on up to 2 visits.

Detailed Description

The study team will update the record to include the secondary identification number once the NIH has released the funds.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Children who Stutter	Speech and non-speech tasks	Participants will have 1 visit.
Adults who stutter (AWS)	Speech and non-speech tasks	Participants will have 2 visits.
Healthy Adults	Speech and non-speech tasks	Participants will have 2 visits.
Healthy Children	Speech and non-speech tasks	Participants will have 1 visit.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Phase locking value (PLV) - Session 2 speech tasks	Session 2 (up to 4 hours)	The degree of synchronization will be measured by computing the PLV between subject's produced speech and the heard speech. The PLV is a vector with a value between 0 and 1 that reflects the phase difference between two signals. Session 2 is for adults only.
Phase locking value (PLV) - Session 1 speech tasks	Session 1 (up to 4 hours)	The degree of synchronization will be measured by computing the PLV between subject's produced speech and the heard speech. The PLV is a vector with a value between 0 and 1 that reflects the phase difference between two signals.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Phase locking value (PLV) - Non-speech tasks	Session 1 (up to 4 hours)	The degree of synchronization will be measured by computing the PLV between subject's produced response and the auditorily presented stimuli. The PLV is a vector with a value between 0 and 1 that reflects the phase difference between two signals.
