Developmental stuttering is a multifactorial speech disorder that can develop in speakers of all languages. In recent studies, it has become increasingly apparent that the frequency of disfluencies exhibited by multilingual children who do not stutter is much higher compared to monolinguals. Given the rapidly increasing rate of multilingualism worldwide, there is a strong need to determine the underlying processes that may contribute to the frequent disfluencies observed in multilinguals. Attentional processes have been increasingly shown to be associated with stuttering in monolingual children who stutter, this association has not been studied in multilinguals, a population well-known to shift and refocus their attention because of processing, managing, and navigating more than one language. The current PhD project will investigate the attentional processes in multilingual school-age children who do and do not stutter. The project will evaluate how attention may be associated with stuttering and the unusually high frequency of typical disfluencies in multilingual children. Findings from the proposed study will help ground the study of speech disfluencies, stuttering, and multilingualism within the broader context of domain-general processes (i.e., attention, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility). Moreover, it will contribute to future research studying diagnostic protocols for multilingual children known or suspected to stutter.
