Thus is an important question that relates to how
stuttering is dependent on formed memories. To the extent that our stutter is triggered or made worse by
anxiety about past instances, we might be left with what the original neurological problem was, and, at least for a
while, the stutter might be lessened... until the whole "stuttering
framework" is rebuilt. Does anybody know of any study on amnesia in
stutterers? I am also asking myself if the opposite might be true for
folks who have been able to build GOOD adaptive behaviors around the
onset of blocks etc. (I *might* be in that category...) Would amnesia
make me forget how I learned to deal with blocks and send me back to my
youthful stuttering patterns?
The posts are based on my experience as life-long stutterer and professional scientist in areas of Biophysics and bio-inspired computing (NASA 1980-2020). I reached a point where my stutter is no longer an issue, and is normally undetectable, but I can still be caught by surprise instances. This is probably the best that can be expected for this stubborn syndrome.
