Cards

Term
theories
Definition
ways to integrate current knowledge of a phenomenon
Term
models
Definition
simplification of a system or its parts that can be manipulated or controlled to test theories
Term
4 types of models
Definition

mechanical

physiological

mathematical

combination

Term
theories and models of speech production look at....
Definition

serial order

degrees of freedom

context-sensitivity problem

Term
theories of speech production
Definition

target models

feedback and feedforward models

dynamic systems models

connectionist models

Term
issues in speech perception
Definition

linearity

segmentation

speaker normalization

basic unit of speech perception

specialization

Term
linearity principle
Definition
a specific sound in a word corresponds to a specific phoneme
Term
segmentation principle
Definition
speech signal can be divided into discrete units that correspond to specific phonemes-----SPEECH PERCEPTION IS NONLINEAR
Term
2 pros and 2 cons to specialization
Definition

pro: CP used to show that speech perception is human, sound has many components whether it is speech or another auditory event

con: research with various animals suggest capable of CP, perceptual magnet effect suggests speech is specialized

Term
categories of speech perception theories
Definition

active vs. passive

bottom up vs. top down

autonomous vs. interactive

Term
active
Definition
a person's knowledge of production is critical for perception
Term
autonomous
Definition
acoustic signal is processed in a sequential or serial way from phonetic to lexical to syntax to semantics, with output from one influencing the next stage
Term
interactive
Definition
information and knowledge from many different sources are available at all stages of perception along auditory pathway
Term
motor theory
Definition
active theory, articulatory plans are known as gestures, speech perception is unique, need knowledge of production to perceive
Term
direct realism
Definition
uses same mechanisms as visual perception, direct, interactive, listener perceives the acoustic signal rather than the component
Term
TRACE model
Definition
connectionist, network of units, nodes, bottom up and top down, active, autonomous
Term
cohort theory
Definition
words are main unit of perception, two stages of perception, autonomous and interactive, process of elimination
Term
native magnet theory
Definition
newer theory, prototypes, around 10 months of age phonetic categories are reorganized, bottom up, and slightly top down, passive, prototypes serve as magnets
