A ‘Basin of Attraction’ Theory of Speech Initiation and Stuttering

2026-08-21

Abstract excerpt

<p>AbstractPurpose. Recent work in motor neuroscience suggests that well-learned actions are implemented as stable, stereotyped trajectories in neural state space. The purpose of this article is to propose a theory of stuttering that formalizes this idea for speech production and identifies a specific neural impairment underlying speech dysfluency.Method. We advance a conceptual and computational framework in whic...
