Does “the motor system” play “a role” in speech perception? If so, where, how, and when?
We conducted a systematic review that addresses these questions using both qualitative …

An unresolved issue in comparative approaches to speech evolution is the apparent
absence of an intermediate vocal communication system between human speech and the …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

The idea that humans learn and maintain accurate speech by carefully monitoring auditory
feedback is widely held. But this view neglects the fact that auditory feedback is highly …

Auditory word-form recognition was originally proposed by Wernicke to occur within left
superior temporal gyrus (STG), later further specified to be in posterior STG. To account for …

A neuronal sign of persistent developmental stuttering is the magnified coactivation of right
frontal brain regions during speech production. Whether and how stuttering severity relates …

The cerebellum has been hypothesized to form a crucial part of the speech motor control
network. Evidence for this comes from patients with cerebellar damage, who exhibit a variety …

The second edition of this comprehensive textbook for students of Neuropsychology gives a
thorough overview of the complex relationship between brain and behaviour. With an …

The role of speech production mechanisms in difficult speech comprehension is the subject
of on-going debate in speech science. Two Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) analyses …

Speech production is a highly complex sensorimotor task involving tightly coordinated
processing across large expanses of the cerebral cortex. Historically, the study of the neural …
