Lexical access versus lexical decision processes for auditory, visual, and audiovisual items: Insights from behavioral and neural measures
(Neuropsychologia, 2020)
In two experiments, we investigated the relationship between lexical access processes, and processes that are
specifically related to making lexical decisions. In Experiment 1, participants performed a standard lexical ...
Auditory Selective Adaptation Moment by Moment, at Multiple Timescales
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)
Over the course of a lifetime, adults develop perceptual categories for the vowels and consonants in
their native language, based on the distribution of those sounds in their environment. However, in any
given listening ...
Listeners beware: Speech production may be bad for learning speech sounds
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Spoken language requires individuals to both perceive and produce speech. Because both
processes access lexical and sublexical representations, it is commonly assumed that perception
and production involve cooperative ...
Does seeing an Asian face make speech sound more accented?
(Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2017)
Prior studies have reported that seeing an Asian
face makes American English sound more accented. The current
study investigates whether this effect is perceptual, or if it
instead occurs at a later decision stage. We ...
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
(Cognition, 2016)
People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are
flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with
sounds based on rapid ...
Commentary on "Sentential influences on acoustic-phonetic processing: a Granger causality analysis of multimodal imaging data"
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Prediction of Agreement and Phonetic Overlap Shape Sublexical Identification
(Language and Speech, 2017)
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 signal and because of this, the lexicon ...
Lexical representations are malleable for about one second: Evidence for the non-automaticity of perceptual recalibration
(Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
In listening to speech, people have been shown to apply several
types of adjustment to their phonemic categories that take into
account variations in the prevailing linguistic environment. These
adjustments include ...
An evolutionary account of intermodality differences in statistical learning
(Wiley, 2021)
The cognitive mechanisms underlying statistical learning are engaged for the purposes of speech processing and
language acquisition. However, these mechanisms are shared by a wide variety of species that do not possess ...
The effect of orthography on the recognition of pronunciation variants
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)
In conversational speech, it is very common for words’ segments to be reduced or deleted. However,
previous research has consistently shown that during spoken word recognition, listeners prefer words’
canonical pronunciation ...
