Gap-filling and end-of-sentence effects in real-time language processing: implications for modeling sentence comprehension in aphasia.

abstract：:The pathophysiology of developmental or acquired stuttering still remains an enigma. In a few cases, the developmental stuttering that had disappeared spontaneously or as a result of therapy reoccurred following a brain lesion. We report on a patient with return of developmental stuttering following a left hemispheric...
