Variability in onset time: There was a trend for AS as a group to be more variable than AC in the onset time of their response, corroborated by a significant correlation between onset time variability and stuttering severity. Up-shift trials also led to onset responses that were more variable in time than down-shift trials. Variability in peak time: There was a trend for AS as a group to be more variable than AC in the peak time of their response, corroborated by a significant correlation between peak time variability and stuttering severity.
