Categorical perception (CP) is likely the single finding from speech perception with the
biggest impact on cognitive science. However, within speech perception, it is widely known …

An early achievement in language is carving a variable acoustic space into categories. The
canonical story is that infants accomplish this by the second year, when only unsupervised …

Adults differ considerably in their perception of both native and nonnative phonemes. For
instance, when presented with continua of native phonemes on two-alternative forced …

Some listeners exhibit higher sensitivity to subphonemic acoustic differences (ie, higher
speech gradiency). Here, we asked whether higher gradiency in a listener's first language …

This study focuses on inter-individual convergence effects in the perception and
categorization of speech sounds. We ask to what extent two listeners can come to establish …

Purpose: Researchers often use identification or goodness rating tasks to assess speech
perception for different populations. These tasks provide useful information about a listener's …

Traditionally, there has been a strong emphasis on capturing linguistic diversity as noise. In
speech perception, for instance, Categorical Perception (CP) is one example of such …

Our perceptual system bins elements of the speech signal into categories to make speech
perception manageable. Here, we aimed to test whether hearing speech in categories (as …

Experiment 1 investigates whether individual differences in sensitivity to acoustic cues in L1
category perception measured by the Visual Analogue Scaling (VAS) task could explain …
