Public Speaking
There are natural oral speech disorders such as sluttering, cluttering, articulation disorders, and aplaxia. Sluttering is a problem that interferes with fluent speech. When someone repeats the first part of a word or stays a long time on a single sound it is because they are slutter. A person who stutters has trouble getting out what they want to say, and a person who clutters says what they are thinking, but it becomes disorganized while actually speaking. Apraxia is thought to be due to a brain impairment that may or may not show up on brain magnetic resonance imaging tests.
The ability to understand language and produce speech is coordinated by the brain. So a person with brain damage from an accident, stroke, or birth defect may have speech and language problems. Genetics may also play a role in some speech problems.

The mechanism used is called fight or flight. There are
