Speech Perception Laboratory

Recent Studies

Currently, several projects are underway at the Speech Perception Laboratory, including:

1. Modeling perceptual assimilation (e.g., the perception of non-native speech sounds), with Ratree Wayland and Jenna Silver.
2. Perceptual correlates to vocal aging
3. Perceptual category access in bilingual listeners, with Jenna Silver.
4. Short-term memory effects in cross-language speech perception, with Jenna Silver.
5. The effects of stress and deception on voice, with Harry Hollien, Kevin Hollien, Rachel Kesselman and Daniel Kahan.
6. Acoustic and perceptual correlates of ethanol intoxication in speech, with Harry Hollien and Camillo Martin.
7. Acoustic/auditory similarity metrics
