Michael Pendlebury, a student at Bangor University, invites you to take part in his research into stammering and metronomes.
Previous research has shown that when people who stammer speak along to the beat of a metronome, their fluency increases. That research used a standard metronome, which is called an 'auditory' metronome.
However, there are several different types, including 'visual' and 'tactile' metronomes. Michael wants to investigate if these other types of metronome affect levels of stammering.
What will it involve?
Michael will ask you to read sentences and answer questions to the beat of each different type of metronome. It will take around an hour and a half.
Who can take part?
To take part in Michael's research, you need to:
- be someone who stammers
- be aged 18 to 45
- have English as your first language, or have spoken English from a young age
- be able to travel to Bangor University in Wales.
