Thanks for highlighting this nonverbal behavior that communicates so much about the speaker and facilitates communication flow. You have described some causes and consequences of averting eye contact, at least for the person who stutters. Have you considered socio-linguistic and cultural parameters of gaze while speaking?

Thank you for providing a fresh look at this component of speech. Ellen-Marie
