This research is looking for participants who are 18 and over, are fluent in English and have a stammer to take part in two short conditions (15 minutes each).
In order to contribute to research about stammering, anxiety and speech conditions. The purpose of this study is to see if there is a difference in anxiety scores between two speech conditions (read and spontaneous). Both conditions involve a task and a short survey.
This research will take place on the University College Dublin Belfield campus in the School of Psychology Labs. Participation times are flexible. This study has been granted ethical approval by the University Research Ethics committee at UCD. This research is being conducted as part of the final year of the undergraduate Psychology programme at UCD. This research is being supervised by Dr Sarah Cooney.

This Research is inviting adults who stutter (18 years or older) to participate in online training involving a simple specific conscious eye movement. It is based on an unconscious connection between eye movement and tongue movement, highlighted by the lead researcher. The purposes of the study are 1) to investigate if making a specific timed eye movement is a viable tool to enable adults who stutter avoid a repetition or block. 2) to see if having that choice improves the lived experience of being a person who stutters 3) to evaluate the effect this technique has on the anticipation of stuttering
The study is taking place online. Participants are asked to complete a self-assessment survey (Qualtrics) before training commences, after training and at three month follow up. The training schedule is for 5 weeks. Participants must attend short weekly online sessions (< 15 minutes) and agree to practice the specific eye movements for ten minutes twice per day. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two eye movement conditions: downwards or sideways. Participants are asked not to apply the conscious eye movement outside practice times during the 5 weeks training. After training they are free to use the technique if they find it helps.
This study has been granted ethical approval by Sligo University Hospital and Atlantic Technological University, Sligo, Ireland.
