Explicit and implicit cognitive processes of the public towards people who stutter.

Purpose: The Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes - Stuttering (POSHA-S, St. Louis, 2013) was developed as a standard measure of public attitudes about people who stutter. As with any survey-based methods, threats to validity may occur because of social desirability bias.

Electrodermal Activity of Preschool-Age Children Who Stutter During a Child-Friendly Stroop Paradigm.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess whether emotional reactivity, indexed by a distinct physiological measure of sympathetic activation, differs between preschool-age children who stutter (CWS) and preschool-age children who do not stutter (CWNS) during a child-friendly Stroop task (i.e., day-night task).

Perspectives of stuttering treatment: Children, adolescents, and parents.

Purpose: Researchers investigated whether children who stutter (CWS), adolescents who stutter (ADWS), and their parents preferred treatment focused on changing speech or communicating regardless of stuttering.

Methods: Twenty-four parents and their CWS (n = 11, ages 8;0-12;11) or ADWS (n = 13, ages 13;0-17;11) answered questions about their preferences for stuttering treatment via an internet-based survey; an additional 11 surveys were filled in only by parents without responses by their child/adolescent. The researchers compared responses of the parents and their children, as well as between the two age groups and years in treatment (less than five years versus five or more years).
