The Stuttering and Linguistic Processing lab (SLPlab) is housed in UT Austin’s Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, in the Moody College of Communication. Our research aims to improve our understanding of how stuttering develops and persists into adulthood and translate this knowledge to advance evidence-based practices for stuttering. Specifically, we are interested in investigating the linguistic and cognitive factors that contribute to stuttered speech using eye-tracking techniques, exploring the manifestation of stuttering and/or disfluencies in bilingual and multilingual speakers, and improving evidence-based practices in the assessment and treatment of stuttering.
Our work would not be possible without the generous help of our participants, students, clinicians, and volunteers.
Participants Needed
Bilingual Study:
The Stuttering and Linguistic Processing Lab is currently recruiting Greek-English bilingual adults who stutter for an online study that investigates speech production and disfluency patterns in the speaker's two languages. E-mail us for more details at stutteringlinguisticslab@austin.utexas.edu or fill out the "Adults- participate in research form" located on the right of the screen.
Stuttering and Working Memory Study:
The Stuttering and Linguistic Processing Lab is currently recruiting neurotypical adult speakers who do not stutter and do not have a history of any speech/language/reading disorders or any cognitive, neurological, psychological diagnoses to serve as the control group of a study that investigates the link between complex working memory and stuttering.
