Answer 1

I went through 11 years of speech therapy as a kid. When reciting something from memory you’re only recalling it instead of trying to formulate words to express an original thought coming out of you. It’s much less likely that I’ll stutter or mix words up when I’m reciting something I know.

Others here have detailed out exactly why that happens. All I know is from what I’ve experienced personally.
