two major problems of speech perception

random terms

models of speech perception

invariance problem

segmentation (division) problem

hearing the same sound, although the physical properties of the sound are different

detecting distinct words in a continuous string of speech sounds, because there are no clear boundaries between words even though we do perceive those boundaries

stress pattern of the language can be an important cue

context is important in word recognition

co-articulation

foreign accent syndrome

phonotactic constraints

onset

slips of the ear bc misperception of word boundary

categorical perception

voicing

right ear advantage

phoneme restoration effect

McGurk effect

tendency for a speech sound to be influenced by sounds preceding it/following it

syndrome resulting from brain injury

language-specific sound groupings that occur in a language

e.g. no English word starts with XR

initial phoneme of a word

also called mondegreens

categorising the incoming sound in a known category

when speech sounds are produced while the vocal cords are vibrating

language sounds are processed more efficiently when presented to the right ear

tendency to hear a complete word even when a phoneme is missing

top-down influence

perceptual illusion that illustrates the interplay of visual and auditory processing in speech perception

Cohort model

autocorrect model
