In a dual-task paradigm in which subjects performed a tracking task in combination with speech tasks of varying complexity, we tested two hypotheses concerning stuttering involving the concept of attention. The "overload" hypothesis assumes that stuttering is related to insufficient automatization of the speech production process, which consequently relies too much on attentional control. The "regression" hypothesis, in contrast, presupposes that speech production is normally automatized, but assumes that under certain circumstances the stutterer regresses to a controlled way of speech production, which results in stuttering. Eleven stutterers and 11 nonstutterers participated in the experiment. In general, stutterers showed fewer disfluencies while simultaneously speaking and performing a tracking task than they showed when performing the speech tasks only. This effect was strongest when spontaneous speech was to be generated. This result supports the "regression" hypothesis. However, the finding that a more complex speech task yielded more disfluencies supports the "overload" hypothesis.
