He did things to try to strengthen the tongue muscles; others would cut off the tongue, nerve, lip or neck muscles. • 1939 – Dr. Wendell Johnson from the University of Iowa wanted to prove that stuttering was a learned behavior. Dr. Johnson conducted a study on orphans, that some coined The Monster Study, because it turned fluent speakers into lifelong stutterers. Would it be done today?
