The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

Three experiments examined the influence of gradient acoustic information on referential
interpretation during spoken language processing and how this influence persists over time …

Children's early speech often bears little resemblance to that of adults, and yet parents and
other caregivers are able to interpret that speech and react accordingly. Here we investigate …

We examined whether sentence context (the predictability of the final word) influences
listeners' ratings of foreign-accented words. Previous work has demonstrated that accent …

Understanding spoken language requires the integration and weighting of multiple cues,
and may call on cue integration mechanisms that have been studied in other areas of …

This study investigates how the strength of referential biases associated with implicit vs
explicit causality predicates in Korean affects Korean-speaking learners' reference choices …

Spoken communication occurs in a “noisy channel” characterized by high levels of
environmental noise, variability within and between speakers, and lexical and syntactic …

This study investigates whether there are different first-language–second-language (L1–L2)
dependency resolutions by focusing on less-studied crosslinguistic variances in L2 …

The mapping between the physical speech signal and our internal representations is rarely
straightforward. When faced with uncertainty, higher-order information is used to parse the …

Although much evidence suggests that the identification of phonetically ambiguous target
words can be biased by preceding sentential context, interactive and autonomous models of …
