Language processing is strongly left lateralized in both sexes. Evidence from functional MRI. (1/2052)

Functional MRI (fMRI) was used to examine gender effects on brain activation during a language comprehension task. A large number of subjects (50 women and 50 men) was studied to maximize the statistical power to detect subtle differences between the sexes. To estimate the specificity of findings related to sex differences, parallel analyses were performed on two groups of randomly assigned subjects. Men and women showed very similar, strongly left lateralized activation patterns. Voxel-wise tests for group differences in overall activation patterns demonstrated no significant differences between women and men. In further analyses, group differences were examined by region of interest and by hemisphere. No differences were found between the sexes in lateralization of activity in any region of interest or in intrahemispheric cortical activation patterns. These data argue against substantive differences between men and women in the large-scale neural organization of language processes. (+info)

Effects of talker, rate, and amplitude variation on recognition memory for spoken words. (2/2052)

This study investigated the encoding of the surface form of spoken words using a continuous recognition memory task. The purpose was to compare and contrast three sources of stimulus variability--talker, speaking rate, and overall amplitude--to determine the extent to which each source of variability is retained in episodic memory. In Experiment 1, listeners judged whether each word in a list of spoken words was "old" (had occurred previously in the list) or "new." Listeners were more accurate at recognizing a word as old if it was repeated by the same talker and at the same speaking rate; however, there was no recognition advantage for words repeated at the same overall amplitude. In Experiment 2, listeners were first asked to judge whether each word was old or new, as before, and then they had to explicitly judge whether it was repeated by the same talker, at the same rate, or at the same amplitude. On the first task, listeners again showed an advantage in recognition memory for words repeated by the same talker and at same speaking rate, but no advantage occurred for the amplitude condition. However, in all three conditions, listeners were able to explicitly detect whether an old word was repeated by the same talker, at the same rate, or at the same amplitude. These data suggest that although information about all three properties of spoken words is encoded and retained in memory, each source of stimulus variation differs in the extent to which it affects episodic memory for spoken words.

Infants' learning about words and sounds in relation to objects. (3/2052)

In acquiring language, babies learn not only that people can communicate about objects and events, but also that they typically use a particular kind of act as the communicative signal. The current studies asked whether 1-year-olds' learning of names during joint attention is guided by the expectation that names will be in the form of spoken words. In the first study, 13-month-olds were introduced to either a novel word or a novel sound-producing action (using a small noisemaker). Both the word and the sound were produced by a researcher as she showed the baby a new toy during a joint attention episode. The baby's memory for the link between the word or sound and the object was tested in a multiple choice procedure. Thirteen-month-olds learned both the word-object and sound-object correspondences, as evidenced by their choosing the target reliably in response to hearing the word or sound on test trials, but not on control trials when no word or sound was present. In the second study, 13-month-olds, but not 20-month-olds, learned a new sound-object correspondence. These results indicate that infants initially accept a broad range of signals in communicative contexts and narrow the range with development. (+info)

Isolating the contributions of familiarity and source information to item recognition: a time course analysis. (4/2052)

Recognition memory may be mediated by the retrieval of distinct types of information, notably, a general assessment of familiarity and the recovery of specific source information. A response-signal speed-accuracy trade-off variant of an exclusion procedure was used to isolate the retrieval time course for familiarity and source information. In 2 experiments, participants studied spoken and read lists (with various numbers of presentations) and then performed an exclusion task, judging an item as old only if it was in the heard list. Dual-process fits of the time course data indicated that familiarity information typically is retrieved before source information. The implications that these data have for models of recognition, including dual-process and global memory models, are discussed. (+info)

PET imaging of cochlear-implant and normal-hearing subjects listening to speech and nonspeech. (5/2052)

Functional neuroimaging with positron emission tomography (PET) was used to compare the brain activation patterns of normal-hearing (NH) with postlingually deaf, cochlear-implant (CI) subjects listening to speech and nonspeech signals. The speech stimuli were derived from test batteries for assessing speech-perception performance of hearing-impaired subjects with different sensory aids. Subjects were scanned while passively listening to monaural (right ear) stimuli in five conditions: Silent Baseline, Word, Sentence, Time-reversed Sentence, and Multitalker Babble. Both groups showed bilateral activation in superior and middle temporal gyri to speech and backward speech. However, group differences were observed in the Sentence compared to Silence condition. CI subjects showed more activated foci in right temporal regions, where lateralized mechanisms for prosodic (pitch) processing have been well established; NH subjects showed a focus in the left inferior frontal gyrus (Brodmann's area 47), where semantic processing has been implicated. Multitalker Babble activated auditory temporal regions in the CI group only. Whereas NH listeners probably habituated to this multitalker babble, the CI listeners may be using a perceptual strategy that emphasizes 'coarse' coding to perceive this stimulus globally as speechlike. The group differences provide the first neuroimaging evidence suggesting that postlingually deaf CI and NH subjects may engage differing perceptual processing strategies under certain speech conditions.

Regulation of parkinsonian speech volume: the effect of interlocuter distance. (6/2052)

This study examined the automatic regulation of speech volume over distance in hypophonic patients with Parkinson's disease and age and sex matched controls. There were two speech settings; conversation, and the recitation of sequential material (for example, counting). The perception of interlocuter speech volume by patients with Parkinson's disease and controls over varying distances was also examined, and found to be slightly discrepant. For speech production, it was found that controls significantly increased overall speech volume for conversation relative to that for sequential material. Patients with Parkinson's disease were unable to achieve this overall increase for conversation, and consistently spoke at a softer volume than controls at all distances (intercept reduction). However, patients were still able to increase volume for greater distances in a similar way to controls for conversation and sequential material, thus showing a normal pattern of volume regulation (slope similarity). It is suggested that speech volume regulation is intact in Parkinson's disease, but rather the gain is reduced. These findings are reminiscent of skeletal motor control studies in Parkinson's disease, in which the amplitude of movement is diminished but the relation with another factor is preserved (stride length increases as cadence-that is, stepping rate, increases).

Specialization of left auditory cortex for speech perception in man depends on temporal coding. (7/2052)

Speech perception requires cortical mechanisms capable of analysing and encoding successive spectral (frequency) changes in the acoustic signal. To study temporal speech processing in the human auditory cortex, we recorded intracerebral evoked potentials to syllables in right and left human auditory cortices including Heschl's gyrus (HG), planum temporale (PT) and the posterior part of superior temporal gyrus (area 22). Natural voiced /ba/, /da/, /ga/) and voiceless (/pa/, /ta/, /ka/) syllables, spoken by a native French speaker, were used to study the processing of a specific temporally based acoustico-phonetic feature, the voice onset time (VOT). This acoustic feature is present in nearly all languages, and it is the VOT that provides the basis for the perceptual distinction between voiced and voiceless consonants. The present results show a lateralized processing of acoustic elements of syllables. First, processing of voiced and voiceless syllables is distinct in the left, but not in the right HG and PT. Second, only the evoked potentials in the left HG, and to a lesser extent in PT, reflect a sequential processing of the different components of the syllables. Third, we show that this acoustic temporal processing is not limited to speech sounds but applies also to non-verbal sounds mimicking the temporal structure of the syllable. Fourth, there was no difference between responses to voiced and voiceless syllables in either left or right areas 22. Our data suggest that a single mechanism in the auditory cortex, involved in general (not only speech-specific) temporal processing, may underlie the further processing of verbal (and non-verbal) stimuli. This coding, bilaterally localized in auditory cortex in animals, takes place specifically in the left HG in man. A defect of this mechanism could account for hearing discrimination impairments associated with language disorders. (+info)

Cochlear implantations in Northern Ireland: an overview of the first five years. (8/2052)

During the last few years cochlear implantation (CI) has made remarkable progress, developing from a mere research tool to a viable clinical application. The Centre for CI in the Northern Ireland was established in 1992 and has since been a provider of this new technology for rehabilitation of profoundly deaf patients in the region. Although individual performance with a cochlear implant cannot be predicted accurately, the overall success of CI can no longer be denied. Seventy one patients, 37 adults and 34 children, have received implants over the first five years of the Northern Ireland cochlear implant programme, which is located at the Belfast City Hospital. The complication rates and the post-implantation outcome of this centre compare favourably with other major centres which undertake the procedure. This paper aims to highlight the patient selection criteria, surgery, post-CI outcome, clinical and research developments within our centre, and future prospects of this recent modality of treatment.

Mitterer and McQueen explain these effects from their group's previous research on perceptual learning in speech perception. (innovations-report.com)
We investigated how flexible behavior can emerge from the interaction between fast perceptual dynamics, which adapt our perception to the environment 'as fast as possible', with slower processes like habituation to the stimuli and learning. (mpg.de)
Also we used the model-guided parametrization of perceptual behavior to investigate the relations between perception of sounds without a linguistic content and sounds correspondng to speech events. (mpg.de)

It is difficult to delimit a stretch of speech signal as belonging to a single perceptual unit. (wikipedia.org)
The perceptual goals of speech motions are determined by their acoustic properties typically. (exposed-skin-care.net)
If conversation perceptual teaching manipulates perception from the boundary between got and mind the alteration should therefore impact the quantity of compensation inside a following test of conversation engine learning. (exposed-skin-care.net)
The fundamental frequency (F 0 ) of the target speaker is thought to provide an important cue for the extraction of the speaker's voice from background noise, but little is known about the relationship between speech-in-noise (SIN) perceptual ability and neural encoding of the F 0 . (northwestern.edu)
Infants are born with a preference for listening to speech over non-speech, and with a set of perceptual sensitivities that enable them to discriminate most of the speech sound differences used in the world's languages, thus preparing them to acquire any language. (grantome.com)
These interconnected perceptual systems, thus, provide a set of parameters for matching heard, seen, and felt speech at birth. (grantome.com)
Importantly, it is argued that these multisensory perceptual foundations are established for language-general perception: they set in place an organization that provides redundancy among the oral-motor gesture, the visible oral-motor movements, and the auditory percept of any speech sound. (grantome.com)
Direct" perception means that perceivers are in unmediated contact with their niche (mediated neither by internally generated representations of the environment nor by inferences made on the basis of fragmentary input to the perceptual systems). (oxfordre.com)
Applied to speech perception, the theory begins with the observation that speech perception involves the same perceptual systems that, in a direct-realist theory, enable direct perception of the environment. (oxfordre.com)
Most notably, the auditory system supports speech perception, but also the visual system, and sometimes other perceptual systems. (oxfordre.com)
Six- and nine-month-olds, prior to and in the midst of perceptual attunement, switch their face-scanning patterns in response to incongruent speech, evidence that infants at these ages detect audiovisual incongruence even in non-native speech. (ubc.ca)
According to one of the most influential speech theories ( Liberman and Mattingly, 1985 ), this perceptual categorization of incoming auditory speech occurs because articulatory gestures serve as the brain's representations of speech sounds, and speech is perceived by mapping continuous auditory signals onto discrete articulatory gestures. (jneurosci.org)

According to a hypothesised cortical model for natural audiovisual stimulation, phase synchronised communications between participating brain regions play a mechanistic role in natural audiovisual perception. (diva-portal.org)
The perception of sentences in noise by 20 implanted or aided D/HH subjects mastering Cued Speech (CS), a system of hand gestures complementing lip movements, was compared with the perception of 15 typically hearing (TH) controls in three conditions: audio only, audiovisual and audiovisual + CS. (archives-ouvertes.fr)
Reflecting the general status of the field, most articles focus on audiovisual speech perception and many utilize the McGurk effect, which arises when discrepant visual and auditory speech stimuli are presented (McGurk and MacDonald, 1976). (archives-ouvertes.fr)
Several articles shed new light on audiovisual speech perception in special populations. (archives-ouvertes.fr)
2014) report that children with specific language impairment recognized visual and auditory speech less accurately than their controls, affecting audiovisual speech perception, while audiovisual integration per se seemed unimpaired. (archives-ouvertes.fr)
In a similar vein, adult patients with aphasia showed unisensory deficits but still integrated audiovisual speech information (Andersen and Starrfelt, 2015). (archives-ouvertes.fr)
Altieri and Hudock (2014) report variation in reaction time and accuracy benefits for audiovisual speech in hearing-impaired observers, emphasizing the importance of individual differences in integration. (archives-ouvertes.fr)

Audiovisual speech is composed of visual mouth movements (green line showing visual mouth area) and auditory speech sounds (purple line showing auditory sound pressure level). (elifesciences.org)
Although there is a range in the relative onset of auditory and visual speech, most audiovisual words provide a visual head start. (elifesciences.org)
For instance, in an audiovisual recording of the word 'drive' ( Figure 1B ) the visual onset of the open mouth required to enunciate the initial 'd' of the word preceded auditory vocalization by 400 ms, allowing the observer to rule out incompatible auditory phonemes (and rule in compatible phonemes) well before any auditory speech information is available. (elifesciences.org)
Perception of audiovisual speech synchrony for native and non-native language. (ox.ac.uk)
We propose that this modulation of multisensory temporal processing as a function of prior experience is a consequence of the constraining role that visual information plays in the temporal alignment of audiovisual speech signals. (ox.ac.uk)
We are currently investigating motor excitability during listening to speech in noise and during audiovisual speech perception. (ox.ac.uk)
Abstract Coding of Audiovisual Speech: Beyond Sensory Representation. (mendeley.com)
Nonetheless, important questions remain regarding the nature of and limits to early audiovisual speech perception. (ubc.ca)
I familiarize six-month-olds to audiovisual Hindi speech sounds in which the auditory and visual signals of the speech are incongruent in content and, in two conditions, are also temporally asynchronous. (ubc.ca)
Temporal recalibration during asynchronous audiovisual speech perception. (ox.ac.uk)
We investigated the consequences of monitoring an asynchronous audiovisual speech stream on the temporal perception of simultaneously presented vowel-consonant-vowel (VCV) audiovisual speech video clips. (ox.ac.uk)
This result suggests that the consequences of adapting to asynchronous speech extends beyond the case of simple audiovisual stimuli (as has recently been demonstrated by Navarra et al. (ox.ac.uk)
There is strong experimental evidence that this audiovisual integration of speech relies on specific brain mechanisms. (mpg.de)

Listeners can use their knowledge about how words normally sound to adjust the way they perceive speech that is spoken in an unfamiliar way. (innovations-report.com)
Our knowledge of speech perception is largely based on experiments conducted with carefully recorded clear speech presented under good listening conditions to undistracted listeners - a near-ideal situation, in other words. (frontiersin.org)
First of all, listeners may need to divide their attention between speech comprehension and another task (e.g., driving). (frontiersin.org)
Moreover, in a globalized world, listeners need to understand speech in more than their native language. (frontiersin.org)
Listeners do not only need to understand the speech they are hearing, they also need to use this information to plan and time their own responses. (frontiersin.org)
To better elucidate the brain basis of SIN perception, we recorded neuroelectric activity in normal hearing listeners to speech sounds presented at various SNRs. (nih.gov)
Behaviorally, listeners obtained superior SIN performance for speech presented to the right compared to the left ear (i.e., right ear advantage). (nih.gov)
Hearing aids (HAs) only partially restore the ability of older hearing impaired (OHI) listeners to understand speech in noise, due in large part to persistent deficits in consonant identification. (psu.edu)
Research in speech perception seeks to understand how human listeners recognize speech sounds and use this information to understand spoken language. (wikipedia.org)
Speech perception research has applications in building computer systems that can recognize speech, in improving speech recognition for hearing- and language-impaired listeners, and in foreign-language teaching. (wikipedia.org)
It is not easy to identify what acoustic cues listeners are sensitive to when perceiving a particular speech sound: At first glance, the solution to the problem of how we perceive speech seems deceptively simple. (wikipedia.org)
Although listeners perceive speech as a stream of discrete units[citation needed] (phonemes, syllables, and words), this linearity is difficult to see in the physical speech signal (see Figure 2 for an example). (wikipedia.org)
Native English listeners rated the strength of foreign accent and impairment they perceived in speech of the FAS subject, alongside that of two native English speakers and Italian, Greek, and French L2 speakers acting as controls. (semanticscholar.org)
Nineteen hearing-impaired and 27 age-matched normal-hearing listeners performed speech reception threshold tests targeting a 50% correct performance level while pupil responses were recorded. (dtu.dk)
Listeners with hearing impairments have difficulties understanding speech in the presence of background noise. (rwth-aachen.de)
Although prosthetic devices like hearing aids may improve the hearing ability, listeners with hearing impairments still complain about their speech perception in the presence of noise. (rwth-aachen.de)
In everyday acoustic environments, listeners often need to resolve speech targets in mixed streams of distracting noise sources. (rwth-aachen.de)
Recent evidence shows that listeners use abstract prelexical units in speech perception. (mpg.de)
This differential exposure affected perception of ambiguous stimuli on the same allophone continuum in a subsequent phonetic-categorization test: Listeners exposed to ambiguous phones in /r/-final words were more likely to perceive test stimuli as /r/ than listeners with exposure in /l/-final words. (mpg.de)
These results confirm that listeners use phonological abstraction in speech perception. (mpg.de)
We have shown that this disruption impairs listeners' performance in categorical speech perception tasks that involve lip-articulated speech sounds (e.g. /ba/ and /pa/) (Möttönen & Watkins, 2009). (ox.ac.uk)
Because TAD and its corollaries are primarily aimed at explaining regularities of speech production rather than of speech perception, they must be supplemented by specific hypotheses that predict how speech sounds are categorized by listeners. (grantome.com)
Infants develop language-specific modes of attention to acoustic speech signals (and optical information for speech), and adult listeners attune to novel dialects or foreign accents. (oxfordre.com)
Moreover, listeners make use of lexical knowledge and statistical properties of the language in speech perception. (oxfordre.com)
Specifically, ongoing studies are investigating if speech recognition performance in older hearing-impaired listeners is associated with complex suprathreshold auditory abilities such as spectral shape perception. (ufl.edu)

A double-blind randomised active-controlled trial aims to assess whether Cogmed RM (adaptive) working memory training results in improvements in untrained measures of cognition, speech perception and self-reported hearing abilities in older adults (50-74 years) with mild-moderate hearing loss who are existing hearing aid users, compared with an active placebo Cogmed (placebo) control. (cogmed.com)
There is still no consensus about the mechanisms underlying cognition and speech perception problems in the aged. (ejao.org)
The objective of this article is to review age-related changes in cognition and speech perception and to investigate their interrelationship. (ejao.org)
In addition, this study will provide a current understanding of the mechanism of age-related decline in cognition and speech perception. (ejao.org)
Lev Vygotsky ) have maintained is the use in thinking of silent speech in an interior monologue to vivify and organize cognition , sometimes in the momentary adoption of a dual persona as self addressing self as though addressing another person. (wikipedia.org)

Effects of the distribution of cues on infants' perception of speech sounds. (purdue.edu)
After processing the initial auditory signal, speech sounds are further processed to extract acoustic cues and phonetic information. (wikipedia.org)
Acoustic cues are sensory cues contained in the speech sound signal which are used in speech perception to differentiate speech sounds belonging to different phonetic categories. (wikipedia.org)
For example, one of the most studied cues in speech is voice onset time or VOT. (wikipedia.org)
The speech system must also combine these cues to determine the category of a specific speech sound. (wikipedia.org)
If a specific aspect of the acoustic waveform indicated one linguistic unit, a series of tests using speech synthesizers would be sufficient to determine such a cue or cues. (wikipedia.org)
Accordingly, they downweight pitch cues during speech perception and instead rely on other dimensions such as duration. (elifesciences.org)
Auditory-visual facilitation was quantified with response time and accuracy measures and the N1/P2 ERP waveform response as a function of changes in audibility (manipulation of the acoustic environment by testing a range of signal-to-noise ratios) and content of optic cue (manipulation of the types of cues available, e.g., speech, nonspeech-static, or non-speech-dynamic cues). (illinois.edu)
ERP measures showed effects of reduced audibility (slower latency, decreased amplitude) for both types of facial motion, i.e., speech and non-speech dynamic facial optic cues, compared to measures in quiet conditions. (illinois.edu)
Research and (re)habilitation therapies for speech perception in noise must continue to emphasize the benefit of associating and integrating auditory and visual speech cues. (illinois.edu)
The localization of the sound source in busy environments prompts individuals to turn their face to the source so as to increase their use of visual cues and as such enhance their speech-in-noise perception. (thefreelibrary.com)
These spatial cues and spectral data are used for auditory streaming and contribute to improvement in speech perception. (thefreelibrary.com)
The experiments investigate whether cues from prior context - in particular the speech rate of preceding words - influences how people perceive the critical word. (usc.edu)
In addition, although the dyslexic subjects were able to label and discriminate the synthetic speech continua, they did not necessarily use the acoustic cues in the same manner as normal readers, and their overall performance was generally less accurate. (asha.org)
This line of research investigates the role of visual input, particularly facial cues, in speech segmentation. (wordpress.com)
Speech segmentation research has focused primarily on the nature and availability of auditory word boundary cues (e.g. stress, phonotactics, distributional properties). (wordpress.com)

Optimal active electrode combinations were those that maximized discrimination of speech cues, maintaining 80%-100% of the physical span of the array. (slesystems.com)

The purpose of the present study was twofold: 1) to compare the hierarchy of perceived and produced significant speech pattern contrasts in children with cochlear implants, and 2) to compare this hierarchy to developmental data of children with normal hearing. (mendeley.com)
Speech perception in noise remains challenging for Deaf/Hard of Hearing people (D/HH), even fitted with hearing aids or cochlear implants. (archives-ouvertes.fr)
The advantage of dissecting the problem into these 4 crucial questions is that one can develop a systematic approach to understanding speech recognition that applies equally to sensory substitution such as tactile speech aids, advanced bionics such as cochlear implants, or hearing aids. (jhu.edu)

It is about how we recognize speech sounds and how we use this information to understand spoken language.Researchers have studied how infants learn speech. (wikiversity.org)
It is evident that different languages use different sets of speech sounds and infants must learn which sounds their native language uses, and which ones it does not. (wikiversity.org)
Furthermore, this chapter will explain how infants are able to distinguish more categories of speech sounds than adults. (wikiversity.org)
As they age, there would be a need for different techniques to determine infants' abilities in speech perception. (wikiversity.org)
al in 2004 to show how the changes that occur in speech perception and production in typically developing infants during their first year of life. (wikiversity.org)
When infants are 11 months old, the consonant perception in foreign language declines and there is an increase in their native language consonant perception. (wikiversity.org)
There are different procedures that can be used for testing speech perception capabilities in young infants, and what they can perceive at very young age. (wikiversity.org)
Infants from non-SRI-treated mothers with little or no depression (control), depressed but non-SRI-treated (depressed-only), and depressed and treated with an SRI (SRI-exposed) were studied at 36 wk gestation (while still in utero) on a consonant and vowel discrimination task and at 6 and 10 mo of age on a nonnative speech and visual language discrimination task. (pnas.org)
This research has demonstrated that infants are sensitive to many fine-grained differences in the acoustic properties of speech utterances. (springer.com)
Furthermore, these empirical findings have led investigators to theorize about how the infants internally process and represent speech stimuli. (springer.com)
Infants are sensitive to within-category variation in speech perception. (springer.com)
Methods for studying speech perception in infants and children. (springer.com)
Initially, the theory was associationist: infants mimic the speech they hear and that this leads to behavioristic associations between articulation and its sensory consequences. (wikipedia.org)
This aspect of the theory was dropped, however, with the discovery that prelinguistic infants could already detect most of the phonetic contrasts used to separate different speech sounds. (wikipedia.org)
While speech perception is also multisensory in young infants, the genesis of this is debated. (grantome.com)
To test this hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis of learned integration, English infants will be tested on non-native, or unfamiliar speech sound contrasts, and will be compared to Hindi infants, for whom these contrasts are native. (grantome.com)
Infants will be tested at 6-months, an age at which they can still discriminate non-native speech sounds, and at 10-months, an age after they begin to fail. (grantome.com)
If multisensory speech perception is learned, this pattern should be seen only for Hindi infants, for whom the contrasts are familiar and hence already intersensory. (grantome.com)
This work is of theoretical import for characterizing speech perception development in typically developing infants, and provides a framework for understanding the roots of possible delay in infants born with a sensory or oral-motor impairment. (grantome.com)
The opportunities provided by, and constraints imposed by an initial multi-sensory speech percept allow infants to rapidly acquire knowledge from their language-learning environment, while a deficit in one of the contributing modalities could compromise optimal speech and language development. (grantome.com)
Increasing evidence indicates that even young infants are sensitive to the correspondence between these sensory signals, and adding visual information to the auditory speech signal can change infants' perception. (ubc.ca)
I then probe whether this familiarization, to congruent or incongruent speech, affects infants' perception such that auditory-only phonetic discrimination of the non-native sounds is changed. (ubc.ca)
I hypothesize that, when presented with temporally synchronous, incongruent stimuli, infants rely on either the auditory or the visual information in the signal and use that information to categorize the speech event. (ubc.ca)
Further, I predict that the addition of a temporal offset to this incongruent speech changes infants' use of the auditory and visual information. (ubc.ca)

These tests are available commercially from Auditec Inc . and can be used to assess speech perception abilities of Spanish-speaking children in the United States. (memphis.edu)
Understanding speech in noise measured both objectively with the HINT and subjectively with the AIAH was inversely related to cognitive abilities despite a normal ability to hear soft sounds determined by audiometry. (ovid.com)

A major focus of research on language acquisition in infancy involves experimental studies of the infant's ability to discriminate various kinds of speech or speech-like stimuli. (springer.com)
Song and speech are multi-faceted stimuli which are similar and at the same time different in many features. (frontiersin.org)
It seems that children with phonological dyslexia have a general deficiency in representing and processing speech stimuli. (blogspot.com)

Children affected by dyslexia exhibit a deficit in the categorical perception of speech sounds, characterized by both poorer discrimination of between-category differences and by better discrimination of within-category differences, compared to normal readers. (ed.gov)
Möttönen R & Watkins KE (2009) Motor representations of articulators contribute to categorical perception of speech sounds. (ox.ac.uk)
Although much effort has been directed toward understanding the neural basis of speech processing, the neural processes involved in the categorical perception of speech have been relatively less studied, and many questions remain open. (jneurosci.org)
Thus, posterior nodes of the dorsal speech pathway involved in spectrotemporal analysis of auditory signals, phonological processing, and sensorimotor interface have been clearly implicated in categorical perception of speech. (jneurosci.org)

Results indicated that cross-communications between the frontal lobes, intraparietal associative areas and primary auditory and occipital cortices are specifically enhanced during natural face-speech perception and that phase synchronisation mediates the functional exchange of information associated with face-speech processing between both sensory and associative regions in both hemispheres.

Because the bandwidth and dynamic range of speech far exceeds the capacity of the deaf ear, radical recoding of important speech information and sensory substitution schemes have been proposed. (jhu.edu)
Thus, despite clear behavioural improvements on the working memory task during AV speech presentation, a more direct relationship between facilitation of sensory processing and working memory improvement was not identified. (concordia.ca)
Some of the age-related decline in speech perception can be accounted for by peripheral sensory problems but cognitive aging can also be a contributing factor. (ejao.org)
Here, it is proposed that the earliest developing sensory system - likely somatosensory in the case of speech, including somatosensory feedback from oral-motor movements that are first manifest in the fetus, provides an organization on which auditory speech can build once the peripheral auditory system comes on-line by 22 weeks gestation. (grantome.com)
Perception (from the Latin perceptio ) is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information, or the environment. (wikipedia.org)
All perception involves signals that go through the nervous system , which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of the sensory system . (wikipedia.org)

In perceiving speech human beings detect discrete phonemic categories and ignore much of the acoustic variation in the speech signal. (scientificamerican.com)

The motor theory of speech perception is the hypothesis that people perceive spoken words by identifying the vocal tract gestures with which they are pronounced rather than by identifying the sound patterns that speech generates. (wikipedia.org)
The discovery of mirror neurons has led to renewed interest in the motor theory of speech perception, and the theory still has its advocates, although there are also critics. (wikipedia.org)
This suggests that humans identify speech using categorical perception, and thus that a specialized module, such as that proposed by the motor theory of speech perception, may be on the right track. (wikipedia.org)
When confronted with the daunting task of transmitting speech information to deaf individuals, one comes quickly to the conclusion that the solution to this problem requires a full-blown theory of speech perception. (jhu.edu)

Effects of second language proficiency and linguistic uncertainty on recognition of speech in native and nonnative competing speech. (purdue.edu)
Increased right hemisphere involvement during speech-in-noise (SIN) processing may reflect the recruitment of additional brain resources to aid speech recognition or alternatively, the progressive loss of involvement from left linguistic brain areas as speech becomes more impoverished (i.e., nonspeech-like). (nih.gov)
In W. Strange (Ed.), Speech perception and linguistic experience: Issues in cross-language research (pp. 49-89). (springer.com)
Initially, speech perception was assumed to link to speech objects that were both the invariant movements of speech articulators the invariant motor commands sent to muscles to move the vocal tract articulators This was later revised to include the phonetic gestures rather than motor commands, and then the gestures intended by the speaker at a prevocal, linguistic level, rather than actual movements.

The TRT test and the RSpan test measure different nonauditory components of linguistic processing relevant for speech perception in noise. (asha.org)
6 Pediatric cochlear implantation, however, has provided these profoundly congenitally/prelingually deaf children with greater access to sound, which has promoted an increase in auditory skills, speech understanding, and oral linguistic development. (aappublications.org)

It is a challenging task for researchers to determine how the brain solves multisensory perception, and the neural mechanisms involved remain subject to theoretical conjecture. (diva-portal.org)
Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to isolate the neural correlates of the word- and pitch-based discrimination between song and speech, corrected for rhythmic differences in both. (frontiersin.org)
Previous research has demonstrated that in quiet acoustic conditions auditory-visual speech perception occurs faster (decreased latency) and with less neural activity (decreased amplitude) than auditory-only speech perception. (illinois.edu)
Thirdly, although developmental and neurogenic stuttering are suggested to share common neural substrates, both types of stuttering were compared to assess whether this also accounts for speech motor preparatory activity. (ugent.be)
These findings confirm that temporal alterations in neural motor activations in stuttering are not restricted to overt speech production. (ugent.be)
Single-trial fMRI blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) responses from perception periods were analyzed using multivariate pattern classification and a searchlight approach to reveal neural activation patterns sensitive to the processing of place of articulation (i.e., bilabial/labiodental vs. alveolar). (eneuro.org)
We hypothesized that frontal articulation areas are involved in categorical speech perception, but that they may be invisible to subtraction-based fMRI analysis if complex articulatory gestures are represented not by different levels of activity within single voxels, but by differential neural activity patterns within a region of cortex.

Since this phenomenon is unsatisfactorily explained by existing accounts (which do not consider the extent of articulatory overlap), this part of the dissertation provides additional evidence for the extent to which coproduction of articulation plays a role in speech production and in grammar. (usc.edu)
A large number of experimental findings supports the role of articulatory coproduction as the underlying mechanism in speech production (e.g. (usc.edu)
However, on the perception side, prior research has not specifically examined the role of articulatory overlap or the nature of the relation between production and perception. (usc.edu)
Given the central role of articulatory overlap in speech production, this dissertation set out to address the question of whether we can make use of the notion of articulatory coproduction in order to take steps towards building a unified theory for how reduced speech is both produced and perceived.

Using TMS to study the role of the articulatory motor system in speech perception. (ox.ac.uk)
Background: The ability to communicate using speech is a remarkable skill, which requires precise coordination of articulatory movements and decoding of complex acoustic signals. (ox.ac.uk)
2003). This shows that excitability of the articulatory motor cortex is enhanced during speech perception. (ox.ac.uk)
Our recent study showed that TMS-induced disruption of the articulatory motor cortex suppresses automatic EEG responses to changes in speech sounds, but not to changes in piano tones (Möttönen et al. (ox.ac.uk)
Using TMS, we found that excitability of the articulatory motor cortex was higher during observation of known speech (English) than unknown speech (Hebrew) or non-speech mouth movements in both native and non-native speakers of English (Swaminathan et al. (ox.ac.uk)
During speech perception, the acoustic-motoric translations include the recruitment of cortical areas for the representation of speech articulatory features, such as place of articulation. (eneuro.org)
The consistent MVPA findings from two independent datasets strongly indicate that Broca's area participates in categorical speech perception, with a possible role of translating speech signals into articulatory codes. (jneurosci.org)
