  • Working memory supports rapid talker and accent accommodation

    Open AccessDrew J Mclaughlin, Grace E Teuscher et al.ARTICLEPsychonomic Bulletin & Review2026

    Under multitalker listening conditions, listeners appear to rapidly accommodate variability in speaker productions. However, evidence indicates that this trial-to-trial accommodation incurs a processing cost and is amplified by accent differences among talkers. The present study investigated how individual listener differences in working memory capacity and attentional control may predict the degree of processing costs (as measured by response ti…

  • Sequence effects and speech processing

    Open AccessDrew J Mclaughlin, Tasha N Fernandez et al.ARTICLEPsychonomic Bulletin & Review2024

    Prior work in speech processing indicates that listening tasks with multiple speakers (as opposed to a single speaker) result in slower and less accurate processing. Notably, the trial-to-trial cognitive demands of switching between speakers or switching between accents have yet to be examined. We used pupillometry, a physiological index of cognitive load, to examine the demands of processing first (L1) and second (L2) language-accented speech wh…

  • Exploring effects of brief daily exposure to unfamiliar accent on listening performance and cognitive load

    Open AccessDrew J Mclaughlin, Melissa M Baese‐berk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Language Sciences2024

    Introduction Listeners rapidly “tune” to unfamiliar accented speech, and some evidence also suggests that they may improve over multiple days of exposure. The present study aimed to measure accommodation of unfamiliar second language- (L2-) accented speech over a consecutive 5-day period using both a measure of listening performance (speech recognition accuracy) and a measure of cognitive load (a dual-task paradigm). Methods All subjects complete…

  • Social Priming

    Open AccessDrew J Mclaughlin, Kristin J Van EngenARTICLELanguage and Speech2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 62

    Listeners use more than just acoustic information when processing speech. Social information, such as a speaker’s perceived race or ethnicity, can also affect the processing of the speech signal, in some cases facilitating perception (“social priming”). We aimed to replicate and extend this line of inquiry, examining effects of multiple social primes (i.e., a Middle Eastern, White, or East Asian face, or a control silhouette image) on the percept…

  • The Wildcat Corpus of Native-and Foreign-accented English

    Open AccessKristin J Van Engen, Melissa M Baese‐berk et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2010Citada por: 19Referencias: 46

    This paper describes the development of the Wildcat Corpus of native- and foreign-accented English, a corpus containing scripted and spontaneous speech recordings from 24 native speakers of American English and 52 non-native speakers of English. The core element of this corpus is a set of spontaneous speech recordings, for which a new method of eliciting dialogue-based, laboratory-quality speech recordings was developed (the Diapix task). Dialogu…
