Speech perception (SP) most commonly refers to the perceptual mapping from the highly
variable acoustic speech signal to a linguistic representation, whether it be phonemes …

Three experiments are reported on the influence of different timing relations on the McGurk
effect. In the first experiment, it is shown that strict temporal synchrony between auditory and …

It is by now well established that during normal conversation talkers often produce large
variation in the rate at which they speak. However, existing research suggests that this …

This study investigated the effect of speaking rate on stop consonant production in three
languages which have different phonetic categories of voicing. Voice-onset time (VOT) …

Two talkers' productions of the same phoneme may be quite different acoustically, whereas
their productions of different speech sounds may be virtually identical. Despite this lack of …

When listeners process segmentally relevant properties of the speech signal they do so in a
rate-dependent manner. This is seen as a shift in the perceptual category boundary; as rate …

This study investigated the perceptual adjustments that occur when listeners recognize
highly compressed speech. In Experiment 1, adjustment was examined as a function of the …

This paper investigates the hypothesis that stuttering may result in part from impaired
readout of feedforward control of speech, which forces persons who stutter (PWS) to …

An examination of studies investigating effects of speaking rate on speech production and
speech perception reveals an apparent conflict between acoustic data from speech …

The classical literature on infant vocalizations as possible precursors to speech reveals
seemingly irreconcilable theoretical views. Jakobson (1941), for example, contended that …
