Working memory is important for online language processing during conversation. We use it
to maintain relevant information, to inhibit or ignore irrelevant information, and to attend to …

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 …

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

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

The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

Understanding speech in our native tongue seems natural and effortless; listening to speech
in a nonnative language is a different experience. In this book, Anne Cutler argues that …

A key feature of speech is the quasi-regular rhythmic information contained in its slow
amplitude modulations. In this article we review the information conveyed by speech rhythm …

Cochlear implants (CIs) are the world's most successful sensory prosthesis and have been
the subject of intense research and development in recent decades. We critically review the …

The conditions of everyday life are such that people often hear speech that has been
degraded (eg, by background noise or electronic transmission) or when they are distracted …

This paper focuses on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of speech perception: the rapid,
and highly automatic processes by which complex time-varying speech signals are …
