Edinburgh Research Explorer Investigating the inner speech of people who stutter: Evidence for (and against) the Covert Repair Hypothesis. (unknown): “…covert error-repair, the errors in question must either be so subtle that participants failed to report them, or they must originate downstream from the speech plan, and therefore only in inner speech when it accompanies overt articulation (cf. Max, Guenther, Gracco, Ghosh, & Wallace, 2004).”
Sensorimotor Integration in Speech Processing: Computational Basis and Neural Organization (2011, background): “Computationally, recent modeling work has led to the proposal that stuttering can be caused by dysfunction of internal models involved in motor control of speech (Max et al., 2004).”
Impact of Working Memory Constraints on Speech Monitoring in Healthy Children (2013, background): “These authors suggest that early in development, " children have a high threshold for sensory error-based motor resets " to prevent constant resets while learning new (Max et al., 2004, p. 115).”
Mental imagery of speech: linking motor and perceptual systems through internal simulation and estimation (2012, result): “We suggest, along the lines of similar theories (Max et al., 2004; Hickok et al., 2011), that one of the neural mechanisms causing stuttering is a deficit in the motor-to-sensory transformation.”
