Victoria Tumanova is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Syracuse University, New York, United States. Dr. Tumanova research is focused on the role of temperament, linguistic and speech motor control abilities in the development of stuttering in young children. The purpose of the current work in the Stuttering Research lab is to study how preschool-age children react to speech errors and disfluencies in their own speech and whether differences exist between children who do and do not stutter. We use psychophysiology measures such as skin conductance and heart rate variability to explore children's reactions during different language related stressors as well as a motion capture system to assess children's speech motor control abilities.
