Abstract
Few, if any, of the most basic questions about stuttering [in man] from 25-50 yr ago were answered flatly, but some of the answers may be within reach. There is still little convincing evidence of distinct constitutional or personality differences between stutterers and nonstutterers. Genetic studies suggest that stuttering, like most other traits, is a product of hereditary and environmental factors. Research on the relationship between normal disfluency and stuttering in children has an outside chance of yielding some fundamental information about the origin of stuttering. There is still little consensus on the nature of stuttering blocks, but it may soon be known whether devices for eliminating them radically and quickly are worthwhile.
