Hehe. I hope they don't except us to bark as well!
Seriously though: it's probably mainly because you don't focus on your speech while trying to move on all fours. And we all know that it goes the most fluent when we don't think about it in the first place.
But speaking of weird phenomenons: The one that really intrigues me most is that not hearing yourself (your voice) boosts the fluency.
(added: lol, I saw the first comment now. 1935! The scientists were quite sophisticated at the time ;))
Hey Tom,
Maybe you should add this solution to your on cost benefit devils post. ;-)
If the exercise takes 5 minutes, would you do it?
If the exercise takes 15 minutes, would you do it?
If the exercise takes 30 minutes, would you do it?
If the exercise takes 1 hour, would you do it?
If the exercise takes 2 hours, would you do it?
If you have to crawl around like a dog all day, would you do it?
Too funny!
LOL . . . thanks for the info! Okay, I'm all set for my next job interview! Except I have to figure out if I should STAY on all fours, or rise every time I've finished answering a question.
Hehe, I've never seen a stuttering dog (or horse, or ape, or sheep or...), now I know why... Excellent, back to nature!!
Interestingly, if I am dictating notes into my tape recorder (hand held), I stutter because of the stress of knowing I have to read it back...BUT, if I put the notes on a chair and then BEND OVER to read them...my stutter disappears. (I also notice on playback that my voice is higher because my larynx is now forced, by gravity, to slide and rest more towards my head.
