Description: A theoretical account of stuttering is presented in which an inadequacy of neuronal resources for sensory-motor information processing is seen as the basis of the disorder. It is proposed that stutterers are deficient in the processing resources normally responsible for determining and adaptively maintaining the internal models which subserve speech production. A general description of such computational processes is detailed in the form of circuitry for an adaptive controller which can calibrate itself to control any variable, nonlinear, dynamic, multiple input, multiple output system.
