Answer 1

"What causes stuttering? There are four factors most likely to contribute to the development of stuttering: genetics ( approximately 60% of those who stutter have a family member who does also); child development (children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to stutter); neurophysiology ( recent research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language in different areas of the brain than those who do not stutter); and family dynamics ( high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can contribute to stuttering).

Stuttering may occur when a combination of factors comes together and may have different causes in different people. It is probable that what causes stuttering differs from what makes it continue or get worse."

Answer 2

There is something called genomic imprinting that allows a parent of either sex to pass down a set of genetic traits in a package so to speak. These are just genes, not memories, but can help explain certain traits that one sees passing from a father or mother to a son or daughter than seem outside the ability of the other genetic inheritance mechanism known as Mendelian inheritance. I don't think either can account for a dream or a memory of a past life explicitly, but if the genetic package is the same.....

Answer 3

Yes, that is one reason some people stutter. There are other causes. Check out www.stutteringhelp.org for loads of information on stuttering. They have information to help that you can download online as well as helpful books in their estore.

Answer 4

yes suttering can be genetically passed on. a friend of mine has a stutter and so did his father but his sisters didnt.. luck of the draw!

Answer 5

I'm pretty sure stuttering is a recessive gene, you should look it up on like, webMD or something though in case I'm wrong.

Answer 6

yes, that's one reason for stuttering

Answer 7

although it does sounds more than coincidence, i dont think that it is genetic.
