Researchers agree that comprehenders regularly predict upcoming language, but they do
not always agree on what prediction is (and how to differentiate it from integration) or what …

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 …

The discriminative lexicon is introduced as a mathematical and computational model of the
mental lexicon. This novel theory is inspired by word and paradigm morphology but …

This article presents a review of the effects of adverse conditions (ACs) on the perceptual,
linguistic, cognitive, and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying speech recognition …

When we read or listen to language, we are faced with the challenge of inferring intended
messages from noisy input. This challenge is exacerbated by considerable variability …

Spontaneous phonetic imitation is the process by which a talker comes to be more similar-
sounding to a model talker as the result of exposure. The current experiment investigates …

This study investigated talker-dependent and talker-independent perceptual adaptation to
foreign-accent English. Experiment 1 investigated talker-dependent adaptation by …

In this paper we present a novel theory of the cognitive and neural processes by which
adults learn new spoken words. This proposal builds on neurocomputational accounts of …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …
