Shut up or go to sleep!

This piece of research gives interesting insights into the learning process, which might be helpful for learning speech techniques more efficiently. Two conclusions I would draw. First, you should take a nap after an intense practise. Second, you should avoid at all costs performing conflicting behavior (like using "anti-speech techniques") after practise. For example, you practise hard and then take a break and do not focus on technique while speaking. It is probably much better to just shut up for a few hours (at least 1 hour, actually a nap would do the same thing), or practise in the evening and go to bed because then you don't speak for 9 hours!

This research shows nicely that we might be able to improve behavioural stuttering therapy not by learning about stuttering but by learning more about learning in general.
