How may the basal ganglia contribute to auditory categorization and speech perception?
Listeners must accomplish two complementary perceptual feats in extracting a message
from speech. They must discriminate linguistically-relevant acoustic variability and …

Non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation selectively enhances speech category learning in adults
Adults struggle to learn non-native speech contrasts even after years of exposure. While
laboratory-based training approaches yield learning, the optimal training conditions for …

Grammatical processing in two languages: How individual differences in language experience and cognitive abilities shape comprehension in heritage bilinguals
Recent studies have demonstrated variation in language processing for monolingual and
bilingual speakers alike, suggesting that only by considering individual differences will an …

Tracing the trajectory of sensory plasticity across different stages of speech learning in adulthood
Although challenging, adults can learn non-native phonetic contrasts with extensive training
[1, 2], indicative of perceptual learning beyond an early sensitivity period [3, 4]. Training can …

Incidental learning of sound categories is impaired in developmental dyslexia
Developmental dyslexia is commonly thought to arise from specific phonological
impairments. However, recent evidence is consistent with the possibility that phonological …

The acquisition of speech categories: Beyond perceptual narrowing, beyond unsupervised learning and beyond infancy
B McMurray - Language, cognition and neuroscience, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
An early achievement in language is carving a variable acoustic space into categories. The
canonical story is that infants accomplish this by the second year, when only unsupervised …

The role of corticostriatal systems in speech category learning
One of the most difficult category learning problems for humans is learning nonnative
speech categories. While feedback-based category training can enhance speech learning …

Role of the striatum in incidental learning of sound categories
Humans are born as “universal listeners” without a bias toward any particular language.
However, over the first year of life, infants' perception is shaped by learning native speech …

Desirable and undesirable difficulties: Influences of variability, training schedule, and aptitude on nonnative phonetic learning
P Fuhrmeister, EB Myers - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2020 - Springer
Adult listeners often struggle to learn to distinguish speech sounds not present in their native
language. High-variability training sets (ie, stimuli produced by multiple talkers or stimuli that …
