Focus of Lab

The focus of the Stuttering Research Laboratory is to investigate the emotional and psycholinguistic development of young preschool children who stutter.  Specifically, the Stuttering Research Laboratory is interested in how young preschool children who stutter develop and regulate their emotional/attentional processes.  A secondary focus of this laboratory is to examine how the development of emotional/attentional processes of preschool children who stutter relates to the emotional/attentional processes of their parent(s).
