- Delayed VOT, muscle tension, aberrant muscle behavior, excessive muscle activity Brain Dysfunction
- No dominant hemisphere, EEG studies, cerebral blood flow, central auditory function, auditory feedback Types of Learning/Conditioning Hypothesis - ✔✔- Operant Behavior
- Classically Negative Emotions
