Predictability and adult-child cue weighting differences in speech perception
In this experiment, we tested the hypothesis that adult-child differences in cue weighting are influenced by adult-child differences in knowledge of (a) the relative predictability of wordinitial vs. word-final consonants, and (b) of the relationship between predictability and acoustic salience/distinctiveness. We tested our hypothesis using synthetic speech continua with formant transitions va...
متن کاملNasality Detection in EMG-based Speech Interfaces
Nasality is a very important characteristic of several languages, especially European Portuguese. This paper addresses the challenge of nasality detection in EMG-based speech interfaces. By combining EMG data with real time imaging information, we explore the existence of useful information on the EMG data about the velum movement. Results indicate that is possible to “detect” zones of nasality...
متن کاملModeling the Development of Audiovisual Cue Integration in Speech Perception
Adult speech perception is generally enhanced when information is provided from multiple modalities. In contrast, infants do not appear to benefit from combining auditory and visual speech information early in development. This is true despite the fact that both modalities are important to speech comprehension even at early stages of language acquisition. How then do listeners learn how to proc...
متن کاملPerception and Acoustics of Vowel Nasality in Brazilian Portuguese
This study explores the relationship between identification, degree of nasality and vowel quality in oral, nasal and nasalized vowels in Brazilian Portuguese. Despite common belief that the language possesses contrastive nasal vowels, literature examination shows that nasal vowels may be followed by a nasal resonance, while nasalized vowels must be followed by a nasal consonant. It is argued th...
متن کاملCorrelation between Auditory Spectral Resolution and Speech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants
Background: Variability in speech performance is a major concern for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Spectral resolution is an important acoustic component in speech perception. Considerable variability and limitations of spectral resolution in children with CIs may lead to individual differences in speech performance. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between auditory ...
