Auditory‐motor adaptation is reduced in adults who stutter but not in children who stutter

Answer – True

Evidence from studies has shown that the adaptation magnitude of adults who stutter in response to auditory perturbation is significantly smaller than the adaptation magnitude of adults who do not stutter but contrarily, the magnitude of the speech adaptive response for children who stutter did not differ from that of fluent children. This implies that auditory-motor integration deficit is gradually developed in stutterers as the years go by.
