Reduced Sensitivity to Between-Category Information but Preserved Categorical Perception of Lexical Tones in Tone Language Speakers With Congenital Amusia. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2020 Previous studies have shown that for congenital amusics, long-term tone language experience cannot compensate for lexical tone processing difficulties.

Relationships between Categorical Perception of Phonemes, Phoneme Awareness, and Visual Attention Span in Developmental Dyslexia. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 We tested the hypothesis that the categorical perception deficit of speech sounds in developmental dyslexia is related to phoneme awareness skills, whereas a visual attention (VA) span deficit constitutes an independent deficit.

Category Structure and Categorical Perception Jointly Explained by Similarity-Based Information Theory. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2018 Categorization is a fundamental information processing phenomenon in the brain. It is critical for animals to compress an abundance of stimulations into groups to react quickly and efficiently.

N170 Reveals the Categorical Perception Effect of Emotional Valence. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2017 As an important attribute of facial expression, emotional valence has been well explored, but its processing mechanisms remain ambiguous. Investigating the categorical perception (CP) of emotional valence might help uncover the objective basis of the ...

Effects of stimulus duration and vowel quality in cross-linguistic categorical perception of pitch directions. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 We investigated categorical perception of rising and falling pitch contours by tonal and non-tonal listeners. Specifically, we determined minimum durations needed to perceive both contours and compared to those of production, how stimuli duration affects

Musical experience modulates categorical perception of lexical tones in native Chinese speakers. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2015 Although musical training has been shown to facilitate both native and nonnative phonetic perception, it remains unclear whether and how musical experience affects native speakers’ categorical perception (CP) of speech at the suprasegmental level.

A reappraisal of the uncanny valley: categorical perception or frequency-based sensitization? [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2014 The uncanny valley (UCV) hypothesis describes a non-linear relationship between perceived human-likeness and affective response. The uncanny valley refers to an intermediate level of human-likeness that is associated with strong negative affect.
