  Wendell Johnson and Charles Van Riper
Wendell Johnson was born in 1906 on a stock and wheat farm near the village of Roxbury in central Kansas.
Both he and Johnson had been developing their own therapy techniques since they became independent of Travis, and here I was breaking some of Van's rules by not handling my stuttering in the way he would have liked, so he had to make an example of me in the presence of the other students.
Johnson became the champion of the view that stuttering is purely learned behavior, performed by a 'normal' individual as a result of environmental variable, chiefly conditioning by parents or other adults.

Johnson began to call "members of the problem," since each contributed something to the problem, an evaluation or a labeling perhaps, a judgment or an attitude.
Johnson published two books (see list at end of article) on Iowa research in stuttering, one devoted to a variety of subjects, the other to the so-called Onset Studies in which the stuttering problem was explored in terms of its beginnings.

In assessing the harm caused by Johnson's experiment, some experts point out that it is hard to separate the damage caused by being labeled stutterers from that caused by other adversities the orphans faced, such as severe poverty, the loss of a parent, a childhood in an institution.
