Simple motor and phonemic processing reaction times of stutterers.
Simple motor and phonemic processing reaction times were gathered for a group of stutterers and were compared to data obtained from normal speakers. The stutterers' responses were significantly more latent under both conditions. Such findings suggested that at least two neurophysiological factors influence stutterers' reaction-time latencies. These include aberrancies in both motor control and auditory processing capacity.
