Speech perception

around. In the article "Perception can influence you in many ways", written by Bryan Golden. He said "How do you see the world around you? Do you take action based on your needs and goals, or is your behavior dependent on how you feel others will view you? There are two types of perception; the way you see yourself and your world and the way others see you and their world. The only perception you have control over is your own. It is just not possible to control the perception of others.For example

discriminate speech sounds before they are even exposed to certain languages; however, as they grow older, because of the influence of input from their native languages, infants start to lose sensitivity to non-native speech sound contrasts (e.g. Werker & Tees, 1984). Werker and Tees (1984) provided such evidence, who conducted a series of studies that investigated the development of infants’ speech perception ability, comparing the infants with adults. Some studies looking at the perception of non-native

typically developed native speakers differing critically in their production of the rising tone contrast. The design allowed us to gain insights in the online processing of the two highly similar contour tones and to reveal the relationship between tone perception and production. The main findings are the longer discrimination latency demonstrated by the [−Pro+Per] compared with the [+Pro+Per] participants and the significant differences in neural responses between the two participant groups to the subtle

It is well known that speech perception has been tied to audio and visual modalities in early development. However, there has been a lack of a theoretical discussion about the sensorimotor influence on speech perception development. It is unclear whether an infants’ articulatory information is linked to speech perception, and if so, its relation to motor development. Yeung and Werker (2013) explore the relationship of the audiovisual (AV) speech perceptions and sensorimotor information in 4.5-month-old

process of speech perception which combines auditory and visual inputs to form a cohesive and comprehensive speech percept (Nath and Beauchamp, 2012). In their 1976 article ‘Hearing Lips and Seeing Voices’, Harry McGurk and John MacDonald described a perceptual phenomenon they referred to as ‘the McGurk effect’ (McGurk and MacDonald, 1976). The McGurk effect is an audiovisual illusion that is

implants versus unilateral cochlear implants on speech perception has been researched under limited criteria, such as in the presence of quiet only. There is minimal current research regarding the effects of bilateral and unilateral cochlear implants on speech perception in the presence of noise. This study represents quasi-experimental research that compares the effects of bilateral cochlear implants to unilateral cochlear implants on speech perception in the presence of noise. The hypothesis was

believed that language was a good example as to how the cognitive process works within individuals (Grider, 1993). In order to fully understand language, Chomsky looked at production and perception of language (Grider, 1993; Mayer, 1981). It was important to him to analyze what played a role in the production and perception of language (Grider, 1993; Mayer, 1981). Chomsky believed that structures in our brain helps us be able to comprehend different sentence structures that make sense (Grider, 1993)

capabilities that allow them to form perceptions. When children use movement to interact with their environmental stimuli they are using their senses to gather and interpret information. The information that is collected through the senses enables young children to form ideas and concepts (Ruffin, 2009). Infants and young children are rapidly learning about the world while using sensory systems to form perceptions in their experiences. As a result, perception is increasingly important in cognition

effect demonstrates an interaction between hearing and vision regarding speech perception (MacDonald, & McGurk, 1978), indicating that what you hear is influenced by what you see (McGurk, & MacDonald, 1976). Ventriloquism involves a perceptual illusion rather than a physical change in sound origin (Kubovy, & Valkenbury, 2001). Both types of audio-visual illusions demonstrate that visual information affects auditory perception, which is the ability of the brain to interpret and understand sounds (McGurk

third person narration does not give a voice to the person of narration, but, instead, reinforces the power dynamic create by racism: between the oppressed and the oppressor. The interaction between the narrator and Irene portray race through the perception, silencing, and the breakthrough of oppressed
