Graph showing duration of responses measured using vocal-tract MRI. Data from people who stutter are shown in red and data from people who are typically fluent are shown in blue. Participants spoke four-syllable, complex words ( like “mabshaytiedoib”), four-syllable simple words (like “mabteebeebee”) as well as 1, 2 and 3-sylllable words. Violin plots are shown to visualize the distribution of data and its probability density for each group separately for each syllable set. Solid horizontal lines represent the median, and dashed lines show the interquartile range. As the number of syllables increased so did the length of time to repeat the words. This was also higher when the word was complex. The people who stutter took longer to repeat the words and this difference was biggest for the longest and most complex words.
