Until recently, research in speech perception and speech production has largely focused on the search for psychological and phonetic evidence of discrete, abstract, context-free symbolic units corresponding to phonological segments or phonemes. Despite this common conceptual goal and intimately related objects of study, however, research in these two domains of speech communication has progress...

BACKGROUND Detailed knowledge of the neurophysiology of speech acquisition is important for understanding the developmental aspects of speech perception and production and for understanding developmental disorders of speech perception and production. METHOD A computer implemented neural model of sensorimotor control of speech production was developed. The model is capable of demonstrating the...

INTRODUCTION Multiple handicapped children and children with syndromes and conditions resulting additional disabilities such as cerebral palsy, global developmental delay and autistic spectrum disorder, are now not routinely precluded from receiving a cochlear implant. The primary focus of this study was to determine the effect of cochlear implants on the speech perception and intelligibility o...

DIVA (Directions into Velocities of Articulators) is a mathematical model of the processes behind speech acquisition and production, supposed to achieve a functional representation of areas in the brain that are involved in speech production and speech perception. Introducing cerebellum control mechanism into the model plays a significant role in improving the mechanism of speech acquisition an...

Satisfying customers’ needs economically is one of the important aspects in mobile communication industry. Provider should cater a good and consistent quality of service as expected by the customers. Hence, it is amounts to controlling the speech quality perceived by the customers. However, to control the speech quality, the reliable measurement of the speech quality must be determined first, t...

Neurolinguistic investigations support the dissociation between speech production and speech perception in the case of aphasia. This means that an aphasic patient may be able to understand words and sentences while he is not able to produce them or, he may be able to produce certain linguistic forms properly while he is not able to detect the semantics of verbal utterances. Empirical data, howe...

Talkers modify their speech production in noisy environments partly as a reflex but also as an intentional communicative strategy to facilitate the transmission of the speech signal to the interlocutor. Previous studies have shown that talkers can adapt both auditory and visual elements of speech produced in noise. The current study examined whether auditory and visual speech production would b...

It is well-documented that children comprehend many more words than they are able to produce. Without exception, a child appears to understand various words that they do not use in their own speech. These results are used to test three different theories of speech perception. Motor theory assumes that motor processes are necessarily recruited for speech perception. A common representation theor...
