Heterogeneity of Cognitive Profiles but a Common Orofacial Somatosensory Deficit in Adults Who Stutter

The cognitive cause.s of stuttering remain.s debated: is it a linguistic, motor, executive, rhythmic or a somatosensory disorder? We assessed all these abilities in six adults who stutter. The profiles were heterogeneous but they all had an orofacial somatosensory deficit. This suggests that stuttering may be a somatosensory disorder.
