Is working memory domain-general or domain-specific?
Given the fundamental role of working memory (WM) in all domains of cognition, a central
question has been whether WM is domain-general. However, the term 'domain-general'has …

What we do (not) know about the mechanisms underlying adaptive speech perception: A computational framework and review
Speech from unfamiliar talkers can be difficult to comprehend initially. These difficulties tend
to dissipate with exposure, sometimes within minutes or less. Adaptivity in response to …

[HTML][HTML] Prediction and error in early infant speech learning: A speech acquisition model
JS Nixon, F Tomaschek - Cognition, 2021 - Elsevier
In the last two decades, statistical clustering models have emerged as a dominant model of
how infants learn the sounds of their language. However, recent empirical and …

Phonetic category activation predicts the direction and magnitude of perceptual adaptation to accented speech.
Unfamiliar accents can systematically shift speech acoustics away from community norms
and reduce comprehension. Yet, limited exposure improves comprehension. This …

Transfer of statistical learning from passive speech perception to speech production
Communicating with a speaker with a different accent can affect one's own speech. Despite
the strength of evidence for perception-production transfer in speech, the nature of transfer …

Hearing is believing: Lexically guided perceptual learning is graded to reflect the quantity of evidence in speech input
SN Cummings, RM Theodore - Cognition, 2023 - Elsevier
There is wide variability in the acoustic patterns that are produced for a given linguistic
message, including variability that is conditioned on who is speaking. Listeners solve this …

Short-term perceptual reweighting in suprasegmental categorization
Segmental speech units such as phonemes are described as multidimensional categories
whose perception involves contributions from multiple acoustic input dimensions, and the …

Adjustment of cue weighting in speech by speakers and listeners: Evidence from amplitude and duration modifications of Mandarin Chinese tone
Speech contrasts are signaled by multiple acoustic dimensions, but these dimensions are
not equally diagnostic. Moreover, the relative diagnosticity, or weight, of acoustic dimensions …
