Abstract
Recent research on stuttering has focused on time and timing aspects of general motor and speech motor control. For example, reaction time measurements have shown stutterers to be slower than nonstutterers (Adams & Hayden, 1976; Schäfersküpper, 1981; Starkweather et al., 1984; Peters & Hulstijn, 1986; Watson, 1986).
