===Audible disfluencies=== Common stuttering behaviors are observable signs of speech disfluencies, for example: repeating sounds, syllables, words or phrases, silent blocks and prolongation of sounds. *Repeated movements ** Syllable repetition—a single syllable word is repeated (for example: "on-on-on a chair") or a part of a word which is still a full syllable such as "un-un-under the ..." and "o-o-open". ** Incomplete syllable repetition—an incomplete syllable is repeated, such as a consonant without a vowel, for example, "c-c-c-cold". ** Multi-syllable repetition—more than one syllable such as a whole word, or more than one word is repeated, such as "I know-I know-I know a lot of information." * Prolongations ** With audible airflow—prolongation of a sound occurs such as "mmmmmmmmmom". ** Without audible airflow—such as a block of speech or a tense pause where no airflow occurs and no phonation occurs. The disorder is ''variable'', which means that in certain situations the stuttering might be more or less noticeable, such as speaking on the phone or in large groups. People who stutter often find that their stuttering fluctuates, sometimes at random.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bowen |first=Caroline |title=Information for Families: Stuttering- What can be done about it? |url=http://speech-language-therapy.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=101:stuttering&catid=11:admin&Itemid=101 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402150955/http://speech-language-therapy.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=101:stuttering&catid=11:admin&Itemid=101 |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |access-date=June 19, 2013 |work=speech-language-therapy dot com}}</ref> The moment of stuttering often begins before the disfluency is produced, described as a moment of "anticipation"—where the person who stutters knows which word they are going to stutter on. The sensation of losing control and anticipation of a stutter can lead people who stutter to react in different ways including behavioral and cognitive reactions. Some behavioral reactions can manifest outwardly and be observed as physical tension or struggle anywhere in the body.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal |last1=Tichenor |first1=Seth E. |last2=Yaruss |first2=J.
