Metrical rhythm in speech planning: priming or predictability
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigated how repeating metrical templates, i.e., stress priming, and the contextual predictability of stress affect behavior in a word naming task. We measured naming latencies and the phonetic duration of words produced under four different conditions (congruent stress, low predictability; congruent stress, high predictability; incongruent stress, low predictability; incongruent stress, high predictability). Results showed strong effects of metrical predictability on both naming latency and word duration but no effect of stress congruency on either variable. The relevance of these results to theories of speech production and phonological representation are discussed.

Bridging music and speech rhythm: rhythmic priming and audio-motor training affect speech perception.
Following findings that musical rhythmic priming enhances subsequent speech perception, we investigated whether rhythmic priming for spoken sentences can enhance phonological processing - the building blocks of speech - and whether audio-motor training enhances this effect. Participants heard a metrical prime followed by a sentence (with a matching/mismatching prosodic structure), for which the...
متن کاملMetrical Structure in Planning the Production of Spoken Words
According to most models of speech production, the planning of spoken words involves the independent retrieval of segments and metrical frames followed by segment-to-frame association. In some models, the metrical frame includes a specification of the number and ordering of consonants and vowels, but in the word-form encoding by activation and verification (WEAVER) model (A. Roelofs, 1997), the...
متن کاملRhythm and meter in spoken-word perception 1 Running head: RHYTHM AND METER IN SPOKEN-WORD PERCEPTION Rhythmic regularity and metrical expectancy in spoken-word perception
Certain types of speech, e.g. lists of words or numbers, are usually spoken with a clear speech rhythm. Salient, stressed vowels are aligned to rhythmic points within the phrase period. The main hypothesis of this study (derived from the Dynamic Attending Theory; M.R. Jones (1976), Psych. Rev. 83, 323–355) is that listeners attend in particular to speech events at these rhythmic time points. Be...
متن کاملA Role of Metrical Structure in Implicit Memory of Rhythm Perception: toward a Computational Modeling of Perception Process of Metrical Structure
Memory for rhythmic tone sequence plays an important roll in rhythm perce ption and variety of study has been made on it. Previous study suggests, for instance, that more easily it is perceived, more easily it is memorized. In recent years there has been renewal of interest in implicit memory for musical information. In this study, the implicit memory for rhythmic tone sequence was examined. Th...
متن کاملInfluence of Metrical Expectancy on Reading Words: An ERP Study
The purpose of the present study is to investigate to what extent metrical structure in English plays a role in silent word reading. To address this issue, EEG was recorded while participants were visually presented with lists of five bisyllabic words ending with one word that had either the same or different stress pattern as the previous four words. Results revealed that final words that did ...
