Cortico-cerebellar Networks Drive Sensorimotor Learning in Speech

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience

Published in: Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2018, 540-551 Abstract “The motor cortex and cerebellum are thought to be critical for learning and maintaining motor behaviors. Here we use transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to test the role of the motor cortex and cerebellum in sensorimotor learning in speech. During productions of […]

The phonetic specificity of contrastive hyperarticulation in natural speech

Journal of Memory and Language

Published in: Journal of Memory and Language, Volume 100, June 2018, 61-88 Abstract “Evidence suggests that speakers hyperarticulate phonetic cues to word identity in a way that increases phonetic distance to similar competitors. However, the degree and type of phonetic similarity between competitors which induces hyperarticulation remains unclear. Here, we compared neighborhood density (as a representative

Can the first letter advantage be shaped by script-specific characteristics?

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, Volume 44, Issue 3, 493-500 Abstract “We examined whether the first letter advantage that has been reported in the Roman script disappears, or even reverses, depending on the characteristics of the orthography. We chose Thai because it has several “nonaligned” vowels that are written prior to

Combined effects of form- and meaning-based predictability on perceived clarity of speech

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 277-285 Abstract “The perceptual clarity of speech is influenced by more than just the acoustic quality of the sound; it also depends on contextual support. For example, a degraded sentence is perceived to be clearer when the content of the speech signal

Identifying the locus of compatibility-based backward crosstalk: Evidence from an extended PRP paradigm

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 261-276 Abstract “The backward crosstalk effect (BCE) in dual tasking means that characteristics of Task 2 of 2 subsequently performed tasks influence Task 1 performance. This observation indicates that certain features of the second response are already activated to some degree before

Musical competence and phoneme perception in a foreign language

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

Published in: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2017, 1929-1934 Abstract “We investigated whether musical competence was associated with the perception of foreign-language phonemes. The sample comprised adult native-speakers of English who varied in music training. The measures included tests of general cognitive abilities, melody and rhythm perception, and the perception of consonantal
