Researchers agree that comprehenders regularly predict upcoming language, but they do
not always agree on what prediction is (and how to differentiate it from integration) or what …

Adult speech perception reflects the long-term regularities of the native language, but it is
also flexible such that it accommodates and adapts to adverse listening conditions and short …

The brain networks supporting speech identification and comprehension under difficult
listening conditions are not well specified. The networks hypothesized to underlie effortful …

In a seminal 1977 article, Rumelhart argued that perception required the simultaneous use
of multiple sources of information, allowing perceivers to optimally interpret sensory …

The relationship between speech production and perception is a topic of ongoing debate.
Some argue that there is little interaction between the two, while others claim they share …

Objectives Hearing impairment may lead to increased communication difficulties for older
people, making their social participation less optimistic. However, there is little research on …

Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience have provided a detailed picture of the early
time‐course of speech perception. In this review, we highlight this work, placing it within the …

Human perception, cognition, and action requires fast integration of bottom-up signals with
top-down knowledge and context. A key theoretical perspective in cognitive science is the …

Sentential context influences the way that listeners identify phonetically ambiguous or
perceptual degraded speech sounds. Unfortunately, inherent inferential limitations on the …

The speech stream simultaneously carries information about talker identity and linguistic
content, and the same acoustic property (eg, voice-onset-time, or VOT) may be used for both …
