A Specialization for Speech Perception

Science, 1989
The processes that underlie perception of consonants and vowels are specifically phonetic, distinct from those that localize sources and assign auditory qualities to the sound from each source. This specialization, or module, increases the rate of information flow, establishes the parity between sender and receiver that every communication system must ...

The perception of speech gestures

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1998
Two experiments examined the effects of temporal overlap of speech gestures on the perception of stop consonant clusters. Sequences of stop consonant gestures that exhibit temporal overlap extreme enough to potentially eliminate the acoustic evidence of (at least) one of the consonants were obtained from x-ray microbeam data.

Speech Perception

2015
Speech perception refers to the suite of (neural, computational, cognitive) operations that transform auditory input signals into representations that can make contact with internally stored information: the words in a listener’s mental lexicon. Speech perception is typically studied using single speech sounds (e.g., vowels or syllables), spoken words,

Speech Perception in Schizophrenia

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1974
Although there have been several reports of investigations of speech perception in schizophrenia (Laffal, 1961; Lawson, McGhie and Chapman, 1964) in all cases the assumption was made that the patients’ difficulties arose, not from an inability to perceive the individual words, but from a deficiency in perceiving the words in a meaningful relationship ...

Is speech perception what speech perception tests test?

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021
Speech signals employed in clinical and research contexts are thought to be realistic or representative to the extent that they consist of phonetic, lexical, and morphosyntactic content. These characteristics may be assumed to ensure that speech perception tests are representative of the demands of real-world speech perception and understanding, and ...

The perception of alternated speech

Brain and Language, 1977
Abstract When speech is rapidly alternated between the two ears, intelligibility declines as rates approach 3–5 switching cycles/sec and then paradoxically returns to a good level beyond that point. The present study examines previous explanations of the phenomenon by comparing intelligibility of alternated speech with that for presentation of an ...

Speech Perception: Adult

2009
As adult listeners, we comprehend the messages conveyed by spoken language with little effort. However, the ease of everyday conversation masks the perceptual and cognitive complexities involved in perceiving speech. Upon examination of the acoustic speech signal, it becomes immediately clear that this everyday skill is a demanding perceptual task.

Speech perception as pattern recognition

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995
This work provides theoretical and empirical arguments in favor of an approach to phonetics that is called double-weak. It is so called because it assumes relatively weak constraints both on the articulatory gestures and on the auditory patterns that map phonological elements.
