Available online 20 May 2014 ERPs were elicited and compared in adults who stutter (AWS) versus typically fluent adults (TFA) in a masked picture priming task. Keywords: Picture naming Results suggest that language/cognitive processing differs in AWS versus TFA and may therefore Event-related potentials warrant attention in interventions for adulthood stuttering.
