Your question specifically asks for beliefs. So, I'll express just that. I believe that in a large number of cases there is something neurological in origin that sets of a development of stuttering. Whatever is neurological itself I don't think is very visible, or noticeable, in one's behavior and may not ever lead to a problem. It may be enough of a trigger in some speakers, or significant others, to start reacting to it which initiates the "step 2" of the development which I belief is not neurological (or neuro biological?) in nature. This is my belief! But it doesn't have specific convincing and consistently replicated evidence to support it. In short, I believe both are true in many cases, but not all.
