Epenthetic vowel production of unfamiliar medial consonant clusters by Japanese speakers

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2019
Existing nativized loanword studies have traditionally suggested that there are three epenthetic vowels in Japanese, which reflect both phonotactic restrictions and articulatory properties of certain consonant-vowel sequences in the language.

Language comprehension and the rhythm of perception

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
It is widely agreed that language understanding has a distinctive phenomenology, as illustrated by phenomenal contrast cases. Yet it remains unclear how to account for the perceptual phenomenology of language experience. I advance a rhythmic account, which explains this phenomenology in terms of changes in the rhythm of sensory capacities in both ...

Newborns' Language Discrimination May Not Reflect Sensitivity to Speech Rhythm: Evidence From Computational Modeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Spontaneous Strategies Used During Novel Word Learning

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 357-390, June 2026.
Abstract This online study examined spontaneous strategies of English‐speaking adults during associative word learning, the relationship of these strategies with learning outcomes and within‐task evolution of strategy use. Participants were to learn to name 14 object–pseudoword pairs across five successive encoding/recall blocks, followed by delayed ...

Inights on NIRS sensitivity from a cross-linguistic study on the emergence of phonological grammar

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
Each language has a unique set of phonemic categories and phonotactic rules which determine permissible sound sequences in that language. Behavioral research demonstrates that one’s native language shapes the perception of both sound categories and sound

Individual variation in perceived density of conspecifics and its impacts on the realization of ecological niches

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Animals gather information about their surroundings, including their social environment, using a wide range of sensory modalities. Variation in reception, processing and interpretation of information (cues or signals) can lead to differences in how individuals perceive their local environment. Yet, how individual differences in environmental perception
