Hello everyone!

The Stuttering and Linguistic Processing lab at UT is seeking male adults to be in the control group of a study that investigates cognitive and linguistic factors that contribute to stuttered speech. 

Participants need to: 

• be male 
• be right-handed
• be Native English speaker
• be between 41 to 56 years old
• have a Bachelor's degree (terminal degree)
• have no history of speech/language/reading/learning disorders or any cognitive or neurological diagnoses (e.g., ADD/ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia etc.)

The study will be conducted over zoom and it will last approximately 1.5 hours. Participants will be asked to engage in a variety of speaking situations (e.g., conversation, picture description, reading), complete a test of general cognitive ability, and participate in short experimental tasks that focus on different types of working memory (e.g., visual, auditory etc.). Participants will receive a $20 Tango card for their participation in the study.
