rate normalization

Accounting for rate-dependent category boundary shifts in speech perception
The perception of temporal contrasts in speech is known to be influenced by the speech rate in the surrounding context. This …

An entrained rhythm’s frequency, not phase, influences temporal sampling of speech
Brain oscillations have been shown to track the slow amplitude fluctuations in speech during comprehension. Moreover, there is evidence …

Cognitive load makes speech sound fast, but does not modulate acoustic context effects
In natural situations, speech perception often takes place during the concurrent execution of other cognitive tasks, such as listening …

Foreign languages sound fast: evidence from implicit rate normalization
Anecdotal evidence suggests that unfamiliar languages sound faster than one’s native language. Empirical evidence for this impression …

Whether long-term tracking of speech rate affects perception depends on who is talking
Speech rate is known to modulate perception of temporally ambiguous speech sounds. For instance, a vowel may be perceived as short when …

Listening under cognitive load makes speech sound fast
Listeners interpret local temporal cues (e.g., vowel durations) relative to the surrounding speech rate. For instance, an ambiguous …

Our own speech rate influences speech perception
During conversation, spoken utterances occur in rich acoustic contexts, including speech produced by our interlocutor(s) and speech we …
