Network Connectivity and Temporal Processing in Adolescents Who Stutter
- Conditions
- Stuttering, ChildhoodStuttering
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Rhythm discrimination
- Registration Number
- NCT05286151
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Michigan
- Brief Summary
The specific purpose of this clinical trial is to compare performance on rhythm perception and production tasks between children who stutter and children who do not stutter. The overall project also aims to investigate how performance on rhythm tasks may be related to brain activity (non-clinical trial).
- Detailed Description
Participants in the clinical trial portion of this study will complete rhythm discrimination and finger tapping experiments once a year for 3 years. The study team will compare performance between groups. Participants will also participate in the non-trial portion of the project that includes having magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) each year for 3 years.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rhythm discrimination (d') Year 3 Performance on the rhythm discrimination task will be assessed using a signal detection analysis to distinguish between participants' ability to discriminate same and different rhythms from any general tendency to respond same or different. Hit rates (HRs) and false alarm rates (FARs) will be obtained to calculate d' (a measure of sensitivity; determined by z(HR) - z(FAR)).
