Purpose: Differences in inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility between children who stutter (CWS) and children who do not stutter (CWNS) have been previously demonstrated. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether the previously reported inhibitory control- and cognitive flexibility-related performance costs for CWS are associated with the number of speech disfluencies that they produce.
Method: Participants were 19 CWS ( = 7.
Purpose: Over the last few years, research findings have suggested limitations in executive function (EF) of children who stutter (CWS) with the evidence being more consistent in studies with preschoolers (3-6 years old) than in studies with school-aged children (6-12 years old). The purpose of the current study was to assess complex response inhibition and cognitive flexibility in school-aged CWS and their non-stuttering peers.
Methods: Participants, 19 CWS (mean age = 7.
Purpose: Recent research findings suggest possible weaknesses in cognitive flexibility () in children who stutter (CWS) when compared to children who do not stutter (CWNS). Studies so far, have been conducted with either younger (3-6 years old) or older children (6-12 years old) with a variety of measures. The purpose of the present study was to investigate with the use of a single behavioral measure across a broader age range (4-10 years old).

The aim of this study was to assess the current practice of MRT and dosimetry across European countries.
Methods: An electronic questionnaire was distributed to European countries.
