Robust speech perception: recognize the familiar, generalize to the similar, and adapt to the novel.
Successful speech perception requires that listeners map the acoustic signal to linguistic
categories. These map**s are not only probabilistic, but change depending on the …

[HTML][HTML] Prediction and error in early infant speech learning: A speech acquisition model
In the last two decades, statistical clustering models have emerged as a dominant model of

How consonants and vowels shape spoken-language recognition
T Nazzi, A Cutler - Annual Review of Linguistics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
All languages instantiate a consonant/vowel contrast. This contrast has processing
consequences at different levels of spoken-language recognition throughout the lifespan. In …

Early phonetic learning without phonetic categories: Insights from large-scale simulations on realistic input
Before they even speak, infants become attuned to the sounds of the language (s) they hear,
processing native phonetic contrasts more easily than nonnative ones. For example …

The acquisition of speech categories: Beyond perceptual narrowing, beyond unsupervised learning and beyond infancy
B McMurray - Language, cognition and neuroscience, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
An early achievement in language is carving a variable acoustic space into categories. The
canonical story is that infants accomplish this by the second year, when only unsupervised …
