Neural bases of talker normalization.
To recognize phonemes across variation in talkers, listeners can use information about vocal characteristics, a process referred to as "talker normalization." The present study investigates the cortical mechanisms underlying talker normalization using fMRI. Listeners recognized target words presented in either a spoken list produced by a single talker or a mix of different talkers. It was found...
متن کاملAcoustic differences, listener expectations, and the perceptual accommodation of talker variability.
Two talkers' productions of the same phoneme may be quite different acoustically, whereas their productions of different speech sounds may be virtually identical. Despite this lack of invariance in the relationship between the speech signal and linguistic categories, listeners experience phonetic constancy across a wide range of talkers, speaking styles, linguistic contexts, and acoustic enviro...
متن کاملTuned with a Tune: Talker Normalization via General Auditory Processes
Voices have unique acoustic signatures, contributing to the acoustic variability listeners must contend with in perceiving speech, and it has long been proposed that listeners normalize speech perception to information extracted from a talker's speech. Initial attempts to explain talker normalization relied on extraction of articulatory referents, but recent studies of context-dependent auditor...
متن کاملExtrinsic talker normalization alters self perception during speech
In this study, we investigated the effects of changes in formant structure of externally presented speech signals on participants’ auditory perception of their own speech output (i.e., feedback) during a word production task. The study involved a novel combination of two previously established research paradigms: (1) sensorimotor adaptation to altered auditory feedback during speech, and (2) ex...
متن کاملTalker-specific perceptual processing: influences on internal category structure
Research has shown that listeners accommodate talker differences in speech production by adjusting phonetic boundaries in light of a talker’s unique productions. However, phonetic categories are not marked solely by boundaries, they also have a graded internal structure in that not all members of a category are considered equally good members. The current work examines whether listeners adjust ...
