Investors perceive stocks of companies with fluent names as more profitable. This perception may result from two different channels: a direct, non-deliberate affect toward fluent names or a deliberate interpretation of fluent names as a signal for company quality. We use preregistered experiments to disentangle these channels and test their limitations. Our results indicate the existence of a significant non-deliberate fluency effect, while the deliberate fluency effect can be activated and deactivated in boundary cases. Both effects are consistent across different groups of participants. However, whereas the fluency effect is strong in isolation, it has limitations when investors are confronted with additional information about the stock.

Introduction: Non-fluent variant of primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA) is a neurodegenerative disorder with a predominantly speech and language impairment. Apraxia of speech and expressive agrammatisms along with decreased speech fluency and impaired grammar comprehension are the most typical disorder manifestations but with the course of the disease other language disturbances may also arise. Most studies have investigated these symptoms individually, and there is still no consensus on whether they have similar or different neuroanatomical foundations in nfvPPA.

Purpose: The current study aimed to examine the linguistic characteristics of Korean-speaking individuals diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia(PPA).
Methods: Two individuals with agrammatic/non-fluent variants of nfvPPA and two with semantic variants of svPPA participated in this study. Picture description tasks were used to collect connected speech samples.
Exploring the activation of target words in adults who stutter with and without conscious intention to speak: ERP evidence.
J Commun Disord

University of South Florida, Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, United States. Electronic address:
Introduction: The primary aim was to determine whether the activation of target words unfolds differently in adults who stutter (AWS) versus typically-fluent adults (TFA) preparing to name pictures. A secondary aim was to explore the influence of conscious intention to speak on this process.
Method: 18 AWS and 18 TFA completed a picture naming task in which pictures - named at a delay - were followed by auditory probe words that were identical, or unrelated, to the target picture labels.
Cortical Tracking of Speech Is Reduced in Adults Who Stutter When Listening for Speaking.

Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language, Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate cortical tracking of speech (CTS) in adults who stutter (AWS) compared to typically fluent adults (TFAs) to test the involvement of the speech-motor network in tracking rhythmic speech information.
Method: Participants' electroencephalogram was recorded while they simply listened to sentences (listening only) or completed them by naming a picture (listening for speaking), thus manipulating the upcoming involvement of speech production. We analyzed speech-brain coherence and brain connectivity during listening.
Functional Roles of Sensorimotor Alpha and Beta Oscillations in Overt Speech Production.

Power decreases, or desynchronization, of sensorimotor alpha and beta oscillations (i.e., alpha and beta ERD) have long been considered as indices of sensorimotor control in overt speech production.
