Interventions
Speech Production During functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Participants will complete a speech production task with 2 conditions (stuttered, non-stuttered) while undergoing functional MRI to assess brain activity. Brain activity will be compared within subjects for the 2 conditions. The intervention is the combination of tasks delivered to all participants. The speaking task is the intervention (modifying agent) and the MRI is a measurement tool, not a therapeutic or modifying agent.
