this study was inspired by vanpatten and uludag’s (2011) study on the transferability of training via processing instruction to output tasks and mori’s (2002) work on the development of talk-in-interaction during a group task. an interview was devised as the pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest to compare four intervention types for teaching the simple past passive: traditional intervention ...

Single channel speech enhancement is necessary where the multichannel speech enhancement is not feasible due to space constraints in the intended device and cost-effectiveness. However, the problem of having limited information from single channel sound signal mixtures or unavailability of the speech source signals makes it more difficult to separate the target speech from the background masker...

The performance of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems in the presence of noise is an area that has attracted a lot of research interest. Additive noise from interfering noise sources, and convolutional noise arising from transmission channel characteristics both contribute to a degradation of performance in ASR systems. This paper addresses the problem of robustness of speech recognitio...

Speech perception involves multiple input modalities. Research has indicated that perceivers establish cross-modal associations between auditory and visuospatial events to aid perception. Such intermodal relations can be particularly beneficial for speech development and learning, where infants and non-native perceivers need additional resources to acquire and process new sounds. This study exa...

Tinnitus is defined by an auditory perception in the absence of an external source of sound. This condition provides the distinctive possibility of extracting neural coding of perceptual representation. Previously, we had established that tinnitus is characterized by enhanced magnetic slow-wave activity ( 4 Hz) in perisylvian or putatively auditory regions. Because of works linking high-frequen...

Tinnitus is defined by an auditory perception in the absence of an external source of sound. This condition provides the distinctive possibility of extracting neural coding of perceptual representation. Previously, we had established that tinnitus is characterized by enhanced magnetic slow-wave activity (approximately 4 Hz) in perisylvian or putatively auditory regions. Because of works linking...

It is widely recognized that viewing a speaker's face enhances vocal communication, although the neural substrates of this phenomenon remain unknown. We propose that the enhancement effect uses the ongoing oscillatory activity of local neuronal ensembles in the primary auditory cortex. Neuronal oscillations reflect rhythmic shifting of neuronal ensembles between high and low excitability states...
