During face-to-face communication, recipients need to rapidly integrate a plethora of
auditory and visual signals. This integration of signals from many different bodily articulators …

Across two experiments, we examine the relationship between individual differences in
working memory (WM) and the acquisition of non-native speech categories in adulthood …

Speech perception and memory for speech require active engagement. Gestural theories
have emphasized mainly the effect of speaker's movements on speech perception. They fail …

Purpose: Subthreshold transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS)
synchronized with behavioral training can selectively enhance nonnative speech category …

Background In spite of declines in working memory and other processes, older adults
generally maintain good ability to understand and remember spoken sentences. In part this …

Cues to prominence such as beat gesture and contrastive pitch accent play an important
role in constraining what is remembered. However, it is currently unclear how beat gesture …

Visual information can be integrated in prominence perception, but most available evidence
stems from controlled experimental settings, often involving synthetic stimuli. The present …

This research investigated whether observing beat gesture and hearing contrastive
accenting with novel words enhances their learning in early childhood and whether these …

Abstract Language skills have long been posited to be a factor contributing to
developmental stuttering. The current study aimed to evaluate whether novel word …
