Effects of familiarity with faces and voices on second-language speech processing: components of memory traces
نویسنده
چکیده
Familiarity with a talker’s voice and face was found to facilitate processing of second-language speech. This advantage is accentuated when visual cues are limited to either the mouth and jaw area, or eyes and upper cheek areas of a talker’s face. Findings are compatible with a multiple-trace model of bimodal speech processing.

Episodic memory for words enhances the language familiarity effect in talker identification
Speech perception and talker identification are intertwined. Speech from a single talker is recognized more efficiently than speech from multiple talkers; likewise, in the “language familiarity effect”, talker identification is more accurate in one's native language than a foreign one. Models of speech perception implicate episodic memory to explain effects of phonetic variability. We investiga...
متن کاملThe Performance of Bilingual and Monolingual Children on Working Memory Tasks
Objectives: The purpose of this research was to explore the possible differences in the working memory of monolingual (Persian) and bilingual (Persian-Baluchi) children. We wanted to examine if there is a statistically significant relationship between working memory and bilingualism. Methods: Four working memory (WM) tests, assessing three WM components, were administered to 140 second...
متن کاملNative-like Event-related Potentials in Processing the Second Language Syntax: Late Bilinguals
Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...
متن کاملGradient language dominance affects talker learning.
Traditional conceptions of spoken language assume that speech recognition and talker identification are computed separately. Neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies imply some separation between the two faculties, but recent perceptual studies suggest better talker recognition in familiar languages than unfamiliar languages. A familiar-language benefit in talker recognition potentially impl...
متن کاملThe neural correlates of person familiarity. A functional magnetic resonance imaging study with clinical implications.
Neural activity was measured in 10 healthy volunteers by functional MRI while they viewed familiar and unfamiliar faces and listened to familiar and unfamiliar voices. The familiar faces and voices were those of people personally known to the subjects; they were not people who are more widely famous in the media. Changes in neural activity associated with stimulus modality irrespective of famil...
