Be on the lookout for a new paper to appear in Frontiers in Communication (Language Sciences). The title is “Individual differences in the use of acoustic-phonetic versus lexical cues for speech perception.” This work was led by Nikole Giovannone, a Ph.D. student in the lab. Data/script and preprint are available on the Open Science Framework. Congratulations, Nikole!

Victoria Zysk submits Honors thesis
Victoria Zysk has successfully completed her Honors thesis titled “The effect of sleep-based memory consolidation on adaptation to noise-vocoded speech.” This work was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Emily Myers and Julia Drouin. We’ll have a preprint on the OSF soon. Congratulations, Victoria!
Paper accepted at Frontiers in Communication
Be on the lookout for a new paper to appear in Frontiers in Communication (Language Science) titled “Speech perception triggers articulatory action: Evidence from mechanical stimulation.” This work was led by Dr. Iris Berent at Northeastern University.
Tutorial for conducting online speech perception experiments
We’ve been fielding a lot of questions regarding online data collection for speech perception experiments as many of us prepare for disruptions to in-person data collection. We’ve put together a brief tutorial to share some of our successes, challenges, and advice.
A PDF of this page can be downloaded here, but the dynamic page is likely to be more current than the static PDF.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have additional questions or if you have feedback/suggestions for making this a better resource for the community in these challenging times.
