Exploring a mechanism of speech sychronization using auditory delayed experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigated how speakers synchronize their speech by experiments in which the participants naturally and simultaneously recited under auditory delayed conditions. Statistical analysis revealed that the speakers changed strategies to adjust the timing of their utterances. This finding constitutes one fundamental mechanism for coordinating verbal behavior that can contribute to designing comfortable interactions with virtual agents or robots.

Auditory Brainstem Response Wave Amplitude Characteristics as a Diagnostic Tool in Children with Speech Delay with Unknown Causes
Speech delay with an unknown cause is a problem among children. This diagnosis is the last differential diagnosis after observing normal findings in routine hearing tests. The present study was undertaken to determine whether auditory brainstem responses to click stimuli are different between normally developing children and children suffering from delayed speech with unknown causes. In this cr...

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to determine the auditory performance of congenitally deaf children and the effect of cochlear implantation (CI) on speech intelligibility. Methods: Aprospective study was undertaken on 47 children in a pediatric tertiary referral center for CI. All children were deaf prelingually and were younger than 8 years of age. They were followed up until 5...

Objectives: This study examined the relationship between working and short-term memory performance, and their effects on cochlear implant outcomes (speech perception and speech production) in cochlear implanted children aged 7-13 years. The study also compared the memory performance of cochlear implanted children with their normal hearing peers. Methods: Thirty-one cochlear impl...
متن کاملAuditory feedback control during a sentence-reading task: Effect of other’s voice
1. Introduction Speech perception plays an important role in speech production. When we speak, we always control our voice through speech perception in order to adapt our speaking to unpredictable environmental changes. For example, according to the Lombard effect [1], pitch or loudness increases under a noisy condition. An artificial change such as a delayed auditory feedback (DAF) or a transf...
متن کاملInvestigation of emotionally morphed speech perception and its structure using a high quality speech manipulation system
A series of perceptual experiments using morphed emotional speech sounds was conducted. A high-quality speech modification procedure STRAIGHT [1] extended to enable auditory morphing[2] was used for providing CD quality test stimuli. The test results indicated that naturalness of morphed speech samples were comparable to natural speech samples and resynthesized samples without any modifications...
