Perception of smiling voice in spontaneous speech synthesis

, 2021
Smiling during speech production has been shown to result in perceptible acoustic differences compared to non-smiling speech. However, there is a scarcity of research on the perception of “smiling voice” in synthesized spontaneous speech.

Chinese and English Infants’ Tone Perception: Evidence for Perceptual Reorganization. [PDF]

, 2006
Over half the world’s population speaks a tone language, yet infant speech perception research has typically focused on consonants and vowels. Very young infants can discriminate a wide range of native and nonnative consonants and vowels, and then in a ...

Hierarchical Encoding of Attended Auditory Objects in Multi-talker Speech Perception

Neuron, 2019
SUMMARY Humans can easily focus on one speaker in a multi-talker acoustic environment, but how different areas of the human auditory cortex (AC) represent the acoustic components of mixed speech is unknown.

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

Journal 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

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

JASA 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 (

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.

The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue: Review of the role of the motor system in speech perception

Brain and Language, 2017
HIGHLIGHTSThe role of the motor system in speech perception is reviewed.Distributed production regions/networks ubiquitously participate in perception.Regions/networks specific to production and vary dynamically with context.Data consistent with a ...

Gradient activation of speech categories facilitates listeners’ recovery from lexical garden paths, but not perception of speech-in-noise

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2020
Listeners activate speech sound categories in a gradient way and this information is maintained and affects activation of items at higher levels of processing (McMurray et al., 2002; Toscano et al., 2010). Recent findings by Kapnoula, Winn, Kong, Edwards,

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/.

Effects of linguistic context and noise type on speech comprehension

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionUnderstanding speech in background noise is an effortful endeavor. When acoustic challenges arise, linguistic context may help us fill in perceptual gaps.
