The Role of the Right Hemisphere in Processing Phonetic Variability Between Talkers

open access: yesNeurobiology of Language, 2021
Neurobiological models of speech perception posit that both left and right posterior temporal brain regions are involved in the early auditory analysis of speech sounds. However, frank deficits in speech perception are not readily observed in individuals

Extended high-frequency hearing enhances speech perception in noise

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Understanding speech in noisy environments is an essential communication skill that varies widely between individuals and is poorly understood.

Enhanced Sensitivity to Subphonemic Segments in Dyslexia: A New Instance of Allophonic Perception

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2018
Although dyslexia can be individuated in many different ways, it has only three discernable sources: a visual deficit that affects the perception of letters, a phonological deficit that affects the perception of speech sounds, and an audio-visual deficit

Moderate Reverberation Does Not Increase Subjective Fatigue, Subjective Listening Effort, or Behavioral Listening Effort in School-Aged Children

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Background noise and reverberation levels in typical classrooms have negative effects on speech recognition, but their effects on listening effort and fatigue are less well understood.

Effects of Early Acoustic Hearing on Speech Perception and Language for Pediatric Cochlear Implant Recipients.

open access: yesJournal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose The overall goal of the current study was to identify an optimal level and duration of acoustic experience that facilitates language development for pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients-specifically, to determine whether there is an optimal

Acoustic context effects in speech perception.

open access: yesWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive Science, 2019
The extreme acoustic variability of speech is well established, which makes the proficiency of human speech perception all the more impressive. Speech perception, like perception in any modality, is relative to context, and this provides a means to ...

Speech imagery recalibrates speech-perception boundaries [PDF]

open access: yesAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2016
The perceptual boundaries between speech sounds are malleable and can shift after repeated exposure to contextual information. This shift is known as recalibration. To date, the known inducers of recalibration are lexical (including phonotactic) information, lip-read information and reading.

Evidence for causal top-down frontal contributions to predictive processes in speech perception

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Perception relies on the integration of sensory information and prior expectations. Here we show that selective neurodegeneration of human frontal speech regions results in delayed reconciliation of predictions in temporal cortex.

Impact of Consistency in Daily Device Use on Speech Perception Abilities in Children with Cochlear Implants: Datalogging Evidence

open access: yesJournal of american academy of audiology, 2018
Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) give children with severe to profound hearing loss access to sound. There appears to be a dose effect of sound exposure on speech perception abilities as shown by the positive influence of early implantation and CI ...

Stream segregation, musical abilities, and the development of speech perception in noise [PDF]

open access: yesJASA Express Letters
Nonlinguistic auditory abilities (e.g., stream segregation, musical perceptual abilities) are thought to contribute to speech perception in noise. How their development interacts with that of speech perception in noise remains unknown. Here, we aimed to (
