Exam 12: Speech Perception

The perception of different acoustic stimuli as being identical phonemes up to a point at which perception flips to perceive another phoneme is known as ______.

Mattys, Barden, and Samuel (2014) had people simultaneously perform a listening task and a secondary visual task.As the secondary task became more difficult, ______.

In a study by Holt (2005), participants listened to speech sounds, such as "ga" or "da," that were preceded by series of non-speech sounds.The research found that ______.

An impairment in language production or comprehension brought about by neurological damage is known as ______.

Sunami et al.(2013) used magnetoencephalography to examine the neurological correlates of the phonemic restoration effect.They found that ______.

Vowels are speech sounds made with restricted airflow, whereas consonants are speech sounds made with unrestricted airflow.

Coarticulation is the phenomenon in which one phoneme affects the acoustic properties of subsequent phonemes.

As infants get older, they focus their attention on stimuli that are relevant to them, rather than attending to all stimuli out there.This is advantageous in learning one's first language, though it makes it more difficult to acquire a native-sounding accent in a second language later on.This idea is most associated with which phenomenon?

In the phonemic restoration effect, participants hear sounds that are masked by white noise, but context causes people to believe they have actually heard the missing sound.

The case study of Genie, an individual who grew up in extreme isolation, demonstrates that ______.

You want to convince your colleagues that there is a special mechanism underlying speech recognition, not a general mechanism.To do so, you could cite research into how ______ of the brain responds to the sounds of human speech.
