Rate Normalization

Syllable rate drives rate normalization, but is not the only factor
Speech is perceived relative to the speech rate in the context. It is unclear, however, what information listeners use to compute …

Contextual speech rate influences morphosyntactic prediction and integration
Understanding spoken language requires the integration and weighting of multiple cues, and may call on cue integration mechanisms that …

Eye-tracking the time course of distal and global speech rate effects
To comprehend speech sounds, listeners tune in to speech rate information in the proximal (immediately adjacent), distal (nonadjacent), …

Knowledge-based and signal-based cues are weighted flexibly during spoken language comprehension
During spoken language comprehension, listeners make use of both knowledge-based and signal-based sources of information, but little is …

Temporal contrast effects in human speech perception are immune to selective attention
Two fundamental properties of perception are selective attention and perceptual contrast, but how these two processes interact remains …

How the tracking of habitual rate influences speech perception
Listeners are known to track statistical regularities in speech. Yet, which temporal cues are encoded is unclear. This study tested …

Listeners normalize speech for contextual speech rate even without an explicit recognition task
Speech can be produced at different rates. Listeners take this rate variation into account by normalizing vowel duration for contextual …

Entrained theta oscillations guide perception of subsequent speech: Behavioral evidence from rate normalization
This psychoacoustic study provides behavioural evidence that neural entrainment in the theta range (3–9 Hz) causally shapes speech …

Listening to yourself is special: Evidence from global speech rate tracking
Listeners are known to use adjacent contextual speech rate in processing temporally ambiguous speech sounds. For instance, an ambiguous …
