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

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

Brain aging and speech perception: Effects of background noise and talker variability
NeuroImage, 2021 Speech perception can be challenging, especially for older adults. Despite the importance of speech perception in social interactions, the mechanisms underlying these difficulties remain unclear and treatment options are scarce.

Speech perception and production as constructs of action: Implications for models of L2 development
Revista X, 2021 Speech production involves an intricate set of actions. Its underlying cognitive mechanisms are thus historically seen as distant from those of speech perception, usually assumed to be a passive process.

Effects of linguistic context and noise type on speech comprehension
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionUnderstanding speech in background noise is an effortful endeavor. When acoustic challenges arise, linguistic context may help us fill in perceptual gaps.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Some people using hearing aids have difficulty discriminating between sounds even though the sounds are audible. As such, cochlear implants may provide greater benefits for speech perception.

The bounds on flexibility in speech perception. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010 Dutch listeners were exposed to the English theta sound (as in bath), which replaced [f] in /f/-final Dutch words or, for another group, [s] in /s/-final words. A subsequent identity-priming task showed that participants had learned to interpret theta as, respectively, /f/ or /s/.

Do We Perceive Others Better than Ourselves? A Perceptual Benefit for Noise-Vocoded Speech Produced by an Average Speaker. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In different tasks involving action perception, performance has been found to be facilitated when the presented stimuli were produced by the participants themselves rather than by another participant.

Exploring resting EEG correlates of age-related hearing difficulties
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundHearing loss is among the largest modifiable risk factors for dementia and has been associated with age-related decline in working memory capacity. How hearing loss might impact brain function is not yet well understood. Neural indices that are

The Dynamic Nature of Speech Perception [PDF]
Language and Speech, 2006 The speech perception system must be flexible in responding to the variability in speech sounds caused by differences among speakers and by language change over the lifespan of the listener. Indeed, listeners use lexical knowledge to retune perception of novel speech (Norris, McQueen, & Cutler, 2003).
