Theories of spoken word production generally assume a distinction between at least two types of phonological processes and representations: lexical phonological processes that recover relatively arbitrary aspects of word forms from long-term memory and post-lexical phonological processes that specify the predictable aspects of phonological representations. In this work we examine the spoken pro...

The research presented is a partial empirical evaluation of the second author’s proposed psychophysical theory (Luce, 2002, 2003a,b). The theory deals with the global percept of subjective intensity in which there is a psychophysical function Ψ that maps pairs of physical intensities onto the positive real numbers and represents subjective summation and a form of ratio production. A number of b...

Phonetic imitation, also called phonetic convergence, is currently at the heart of numerous investigations since it can inform us on both the nature of lexical representations and the link between production and perception processes in spoken language communication. A task that has been largely used to study phonetic imitation is the shadowing task, in which participants merely listen to and re...

grammars Mark Johnson Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences, Box 1978 Brown University Providence, RI 02912, USA Mark [email protected] Abstract The performance of PCFGs estimated from tree banks is shown to be sensitive to the particular way in which linguistic constructions are represented as trees in the tree bank. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the e ect of di erent tree represen...

Anomalies in intertemporal choice (e.g. hyperbolic discounting, subadditive discounting, a sign effect, a magnitude effect, and a delay-speedup asymmetry) have been investigated in neuroeconomics and behavioral neuroeconomics. In this study we propose a “tempospect” theory of intertemporal choice which can account for these anomalies in intertemporal choice. The key features of the present theo...

The problem of reconstructing signed permutations on n elements from their erroneous patterns distorted by reversal errors is considered in this paper.A reversal is the operation of taking a segment of the signed permutation, reversing it, and flipping the signs of its elements. The reversal metric is defined as the least number of reversals transforming one signed permutation into another. It ...

This paper presents Tarsos 1 , a modular software platform to extract and analyze pitch and scale organization in music, especially geared towards the analysis of non-Western music. Tarsos aims to be a user-friendly, graphical tool to explore tone scales and pitch organization in music of the world. With Tarsos pitch annotations are extracted from an audio signal that are then processed to form...
