Audiovisual Asynchrony Detection in Human Speech
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Maier, Joost X.; Di Luca, Massimiliano; Noppeney, Uta – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Combining information from the visual and auditory senses can greatly enhance intelligibility of natural speech. Integration of audiovisual speech signals is robust even when temporal offsets are present between the component signals. In the present study, we characterized the temporal integration window for speech and nonspeech stimuli with…

The Discrimination, Perception, and Production of German /r/ Allophones by German Speakers and Two Groups of American English Speakers
Direct linkDirect link
Tepeli, Dilara – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The German /r/ sound is one of the most difficult sounds for American English (AE) speakers who are learning German as a foreign language to produce. The standard German /r/ variant [/R/] and dialectal variant [R] are achieved by varying the tongue constriction degree, while keeping the place of articulation constant [Schiller and Mooshammer…

Speaker Age and Vowel Perception
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Drager, Katie – Language and Speech, 2011
Recent research provides evidence that individuals shift in their perception of variants depending on social characteristics attributed to the speaker. This paper reports on a speech perception experiment designed to test the degree to which the age attributed to a speaker influences the perception of vowels undergoing a chain shift. As a result…

Changes in the Perceived Duration of a Narrowband Sound Induced by a Preceding Stimulus
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Carlyon, Robert P.; Deeks, John M.; Shtyrov, Yury; Grahn, Jessica; Gockel, Hedwig E.; Hauk, Olaf; Pulvermuller, Friedemann – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
The authors show that a narrowband noise (NBN) is perceived as longer when presented immediately after a wideband noise (WBN), compared to when the WBN is absent. This effect depended on the WBN's frequency spectrum overlapping that of the NBN, and it increased as the duration of the WBN increased up to 300 ms. It decreased when a silent gap was…

Listener Expertise and Sound Identification Influence the Categorization of Environmental Sounds
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lemaitre, Guillaume; Houix, Olivier; Misdariis, Nicolas; Susini, Patrick – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2010
The influence of listener's expertise and sound identification on the categorization of environmental sounds is reported in three studies. In Study 1, the causal uncertainty of 96 sounds was measured by counting the different causes described by 29 participants. In Study 2, 15 experts and 15 nonexperts classified a selection of 60 sounds and…

Cross-Modal Interactions in the Experience of Musical Performances: Physiological Correlates
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chapados, Catherine; Levitin, Daniel J. – Cognition, 2008
This experiment was conducted to investigate cross-modal interactions in the emotional experience of music listeners. Previous research showed that visual information present in a musical performance is rich in expressive content, and moderates the subjective emotional experience of a participant listening and/or observing musical stimuli [Vines,…
