Modality, perceptual encoding speed, and time-course of phonetic information

چکیده
This study examined the perceptual processing of time-gated auditory-visual (AV), auditory (A), and visual (V) spoken words. The primary goal was to assess the extent to which stimulus information versus perceptual processing limitations underlie modality-related perceptual encoding speed differences in AV, A, and V spoken word recognition. Another goal was to add to the scant literature on the comparative time-course of phonetic information in AV, A, and V spoken words [1]. In terms of duration of speech signal required for accurate word identification, it was found that AV<A<V. For individual word stimuli, there were strong predictive relations between unimodal encoding speed and gating measures. Perceptual encoding of V words is slower than predicted based on stimulus information alone.

The time course of perception of coarticulation.
The perception of coarticulated speech as it unfolds over time was investigated by monitoring eye movements of participants as they listened to words with oral vowels or with late or early onset of anticipatory vowel nasalization. When listeners heard [CṼNC] and had visual choices of images of CVNC (e.g., send) and CVC (said) words, they fixated more quickly and more often on the CVNC image whe...

Several experiments explored the contribution of visual information (lip movements) to spoken word identification by Japanese and Korean learners of English as a second language (ESL) and native speakers (NSs) of English, and its interaction with sentence context, phonetic environment and, for ESL learners, perceptual training (involving /m,l,p,f,},s/) using

The purpose of this inquiry was to examine the interrelations among handwriting legibility and speed, and underlying perceptual-motor skills in Persian language students. Seventy students (26 male, 44 female; 10.21 ± 1.02 yr; 30 poor and 40 good control hand writers) were assessed during a copying task. The children completed the visual-motor control (VMC), upper-limb speed and dexterity (ULSD)...
متن کاملVisual contribution to the multistable perception of speech.
The multistable perception of speech, or verbal transformation effect, refers to perceptual changes experienced while listening to a speech form that is repeated rapidly and continuously. In order to test whether visual information from the speaker's articulatory gestures may modify the emergence and stability of verbal auditory percepts, subjects were instructed to report any perceptual change...
متن کاملThe Effect of Semantic Mapping as a Vocabulary Instruction Technique on EFL Learners with Different Perceptual Learning Styles
Traditional and modern vocabulary instruction techniques have been introduced in the past few decades to improve the learners’ performance in reading comprehension. Semantic mapping, which entails drawing learners’ attention to the interrelationships among lexical items through graphic organizers, is claimed to enhance vocabulary learning significantly. However, whether this technique suits all...
