Developmental Links Between Speech Perception in Noise, Singing, and Cortical Processing of Music in Children with Cochlear Implants

Music Perception, 2018
The perception of speech in noise is challenging for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Singing and musical instrument playing have been associated with improved auditory skills in normal-hearing (NH) children.

The Motor Somatotopy of Speech Perception [PDF]

Current Biology, 2009
Listening to speech recruits a network of fronto-temporo-parietal cortical areas. Classical models consider anterior (motor) sites to be involved in speech production whereas posterior sites are considered to be involved in comprehension. This functional segregation is challenged by action-perception theories suggesting that brain circuits for speech ...

Contributions of temporal encodings of voicing, voicelessness, fundamental frequency, and amplitude variation to audiovisual and auditory speech perception [PDF]

, 1999
Auditory and audio-visual speech perception was investigated using auditory signals of invariant spectral envelope that temporally encoded the presence of voiced and voiceless excitation, variations in amplitude envelope and F-0.

Prediction Errors but Not Sharpened Signals Simulate Multivoxel fMRI Patterns during Speech Perception

PLoS Biology, 2016
Successful perception depends on combining sensory input with prior knowledge. However, the underlying mechanism by which these two sources of information are combined is unknown.

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.

Critical periods in speech perception: new directions.

Annual Review of Psychology, 2015
A continuing debate in language acquisition research is whether there are critical periods (CPs) in development during which the system is most responsive to environmental input.

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/.

How visual cues to speech rate influence speech perception

, 2020
Spoken words are highly variable and therefore listeners interpret speech sounds relative to the surrounding acoustic context, such as the speech rate of a preceding sentence.

Recognizing Speech in a Novel Accent: The Motor Theory of Speech Perception Reframed [PDF]

, 2013
The motor theory of speech perception holds that we perceive the speech of another in terms of a motor representation of that speech. However, when we have learned to recognize a foreign accent, it seems plausible that recognition of a word rarely ...

Robust speech perception: recognize the familiar, generalize to the similar, and adapt to the novel.

Psychology Review, 2015
Successful speech perception requires that listeners map the acoustic signal to linguistic categories. These mappings are not only probabilistic, but change depending on the situation.
