Ambre Denis-Noël; Pascale Colé; Deirdre Bolger; Chotiga Pattamadilok – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: In adults with dyslexia (DYS), the persistent influence of phonological deficits on spoken language processing has mainly been examined in either perceptual tasks or those tapping complex cognitive operations. Much less attention is devoted to spoken word recognition per se. Our study aimed to fill this gap. Method: Adults with and…

Noise is a common impedance to easy and accurate speech understanding. In the presence of noise, speech processing mechanisms proceed with partial or ambiguous inputs, and listeners will engage additional cognitive resources to make sense of what they hear. The extent to which this is situation is affected by diminished exposure to a language is…

The present study examines the impact of implementing video captioning and subtitles on listening comprehension with special reference to the speaker's speed. A total of 64 undergraduate Saudi EFL learners were assigned into six groups: fast speaker with full captioning, fast speaker with subtitles, fast speaker with no captioning nor subtitles,…

Naz Deniz Atik; Alexander LaTourrette; Sandra R. Waxman – Developmental Science, 2024
To learn the meaning of a new word, or to recognize the meaning of a known one, both children and adults benefit from surrounding words, or the sentential context. Most of the evidence from children is based on their accuracy and efficiency when listening to speech in their familiar native accent: they successfully use the words they know to…

Angelica Buerkin-Salgado – ProQuest LLC, 2023
How do infants learn about the formal properties of language using only cues they can access in speech? And what intuitions do they bring to the learning problem? Chapter 2: To explore whether current notions of statistically-based language learning could successfully scale to infants' linguistic experiences "in the wild", we implemented…

Kusubakti Andajani; Yuni Pratiwi; Imam Suyitno; Bambang Prastio; Ahsani Maulidina – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2023
Listening to podcasts with a sole purpose to enhance communication abilities of L2 students is a great challenge. This study explored the challenges and attitudes of second language (L2) students when listening to authentic sources, specifically video podcasts on YouTube. Data of this qualitative research was collected through in-depth interviews…

Chengyuan Jia; Khe Foon Hew; Mingting Li – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2025
Listening is a major challenge for many English-as-a-foreign language (EFL) learners. Decoding training, which helps learners develop the ability to recognize words from speech, is frequently used to assist EFL learners. Although recent empirical studies on decoding training have provided positive evidence on its effectiveness in improving EFL…

Erika Lynn Exton – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Code-switching (switching between languages) is a common linguistic behavior in bilingual speech directed to infants and children. In adult-directed speech (ADS), acoustic-phonetic properties of one language may transfer to the other language close to a code-switch point; for example, English stop consonants may be more Spanish-like near a switch.…

Tessler, Michael Henry; Goodman, Noah D. – Cognitive Science, 2022
The meanings of natural language utterances depend heavily on context. Yet, what counts as context is often only implicit in conversation. The utterance "it's warm outside" signals that the temperature outside is relatively high, but the temperature could be high relative to a number of different "comparison classes": other…

Sturrock, Alexandra; Guest, Hannah; Hanks, Graham; Bendo, George; Plack, Christopher J.; Gowen, Emma – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2022
Background and aims: Humans communicate primarily through spoken language and speech perception is a core function of the human auditory system. Among the autistic community, atypical sensory reactivity and social communication difficulties are pervasive, yet the research literature lacks in-depth self-report data on speech perception in this…

Roche, Jennifer M.; Zgonnikov, Arkady; Morett, Laura M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the social and cognitive underpinnings of miscommunication during an interactive listening task. Method: An eye and computer mouse-tracking visual-world paradigm was used to investigate how a listener's cognitive effort (local and global) and decision-making processes were affected by a…

Nika Jurov – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Speech is a complex, redundant and variable signal happening in a noisy and ever changing world. How do listeners navigate these complex auditory scenes and continuously and effortlessly understand most of the speakers around them? Studies show that listeners can quickly adapt to new situations, accents and even to distorted speech. Although prior…

I. R. Jackson; E. Perugia; M. A. Stone; G. H. Saunders – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
The use of face coverings can make communication more difficult by removing access to visual cues as well as affecting the physical transmission of speech sounds. This study aimed to assess the independent and combined contributions of visual and auditory cues to impaired communication when using face coverings. In an online task, 150 participants…

Irena Lovcevic; Denis Burnham; Marina Kalashnikova – Language Learning and Development, 2024
There is a long-standing debate in the literature about the benefits that acoustic components of Infant Directed Speech (IDS) might have for infants' language acquisition. One of the highly contested features is vowel space expansion, which refers to the enlargement of the acoustic space between the corner vowels /i, u, a/ in IDS compared to Adult…

Garrido Rodriguez, Gabriela; Norcliffe, Elisabeth; Brown, Penelope; Huettig, Falk; Levinson, Stephen C. – Cognitive Science, 2023
We present a visual world eye-tracking study on Tseltal (a Mayan language) and investigate whether verbal information can be used to anticipate an upcoming referent. Basic word order in transitive sentences in Tseltal is Verb--Object--Subject (VOS). The verb is usually encountered first, making argument structure and syntactic information…
