Neural Source-Filter Waveform Models for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis (2019, background): “Using the spectral amplitude distance is reasonable also because the perception of speech sounds are affected by the spectral acoustic cues such as formants and their transition [35], [36], [37].”
Encoding of phonology in a recurrent neural model of grounded speech (2017, methodology): “In an early experiment, Liberman et al. (1967) analyzed the acoustic properties of the /d/ sound in the two syllables /di/ and /du/. They found that while humans easily noticed differences between the two instances when /d/ was played in isolation, they perceived the /d/ as being the same when liste”
Speech listening specifically modulates the excitability of tongue muscles: a TMS study (2002, background): “The second account (motor theory of speech perception) maintains that the ultimate constituents of speech are not sounds, but articulatory gestures that have evolved exclusively for the service of language (Liberman et al., 1967; Liberman & Mattingly, 1985; Liberman & Wahlen, 2000).”
Early language acquisition: cracking the speech code (2004, background): “The first, called categorical perception, focused on discrimination of the acoustic events that distinguish phonetic units ( Box 1”
The faculty of language: what's special about it? (2005, unknown): “One of the first kinds of evidence adduced for SiS, dating to the 1950s, was the existence of categorical phoneme perception (Liberman et al., 1967), in which pairs of phonemes differing in say, voicing (e.g. p and b) are discriminated more accurately than pairs of stimuli separated by the same…”
Discrimination of non-native consonant contrasts varying in perceptual assimilation to the listener's native phonological system. (2001, background): “An opposing view is that a specialized linguistic-phonetic module is involved in perception of speech alone (Liberman et al., 1967; Liberman and Mattingly, 1989).”
Rich memory and distributed phonology (2010, background): “Linguistic theory (supported by our intuitions) claims that words are remembered in terms of abstract, serially ordered spellings using a small number of phonological (or phonetic) units.”
Categorical perception in American Sign Language (2003, background): “Categorical perception (henceforth CP) is a psychophysical phenomenon in which certain stimuli (particularly speech sounds) are perceived categorically rather than continuously, despite a continuous variation in form ( Liberman, Cooper, Shankweiler, & Studdert-Kennedy, 1967 ).”
Contribution of Phonemic Segmentation Instruction With Letters and Articulation Pictures to Word Reading and Spelling in Beginners (2011, background): “Phoneme perception is based on these movements rather than on the sounds that result (Liberman et al., 1967; Liberman & Mattingly, 1985).”
