Most current theories and models of second language speech perception are grounded in the notion that learners acquire speech sound categories in their target language. In this …
The auditory system comprises multiple subcortical brain structures that process and refine incoming acoustic signals along the primary auditory pathway. Due to technical limitations of …
The ability to organize variable sensory signals into discrete categories is a fundamental process in human cognition thought to underlie many real-world learning problems …
Categories are fundamental to everyday life and the ability to learn new categories is relevant across the lifespan. Categories are ubiquitous across modalities, supporting …
Adults struggle to learn non-native speech categories in many experimental settings (Goto, Neuropsychologia, 9 (3), 317–323), but learn efficiently in a video game paradigm where …
Re-directing attention to objects in working memory can enhance their representational fidelity. However, how this attentional enhancement of memory representations is …

A fundamental objective in Auditory Sciences is to understand how people learn to generalize auditory category knowledge in new situations. How we generalize to novel …
Auditory learning depends on sensory, perceptual, decisional, and reward-based processes that are supported by the dorsal striatum. Auditory corticostriatal connections have been well …
