Measuring the perceptual availability of phonological features during language acquisition using unsupervised binary stochastic autoencoders (2019, methodology): “both adults (Clarke and Garrett, 2004; Maye et al., 2008a) and children (Kuhl, 1979; van Heugten”
Phonetic and social selectivity in speech accommodation (2009, background): “The fact that the perceptual categories of language are labile is well grounded (Norris et al. 2003, Kraljic and Samuel 2005, 2006, 2007, Kraljic et al. 2008a,b, Maye et al. 2008).”
Categorization of regional and foreign accent in 5- to 7-year-old British children (2009, background): “On the one hand, Maye, Aslin, and Tanenhaus (2008) report an improvement in listeners’ interpretation of lexical forms after exposure to a synthetic voice which was altered to reflect accented speech (see also Clarke & Garrett, 2004).”
Perceptual learning for speech (2009, unknown): “…that Japanese speakers have with / /–/ /, because there are not contrasting sounds In addition to these speaker-general results reported by McGarr (1983), several of the studies that we have discussed here found evidence for speaker-specific learning effects, with improvements primarily…”
Speech recognition in adverse conditions: A review (2012, background): “…information is stored in long-term memory and is retrieved during subsequent speech processing (e.g., Bradlow & Bent, 2008; Clopper & Pisoni, 2004; Maye et al., 2008; Nygaard, Sommers, & Pisoni, 1994), (2) The exact nature of this episodic information and the part of the memory system in which it…”
Robust speech perception: Recognize the familiar, generalize to the similar, and adapt to the novel (2015, background): “This framework allowed us to formalize the intuition that perceptual recalibration is a form of distributional (statistical) learning that changes the underlying representations of phonetic categories (e.g., Norris et al., 2003; Kraljic & Samuel, 2005; Maye et al., 2008; Bertelson et al., 2003).”
