The Sound of Emotional Prosody: Nearly 3 Decades of Research and Future Directions
Emotional voices attract considerable attention. A search on any browser using “emotional prosody” as a key phrase leads to more than a million entries. Such interest is evident in the scientific literature as well; readers are reminded in the introductory paragraphs of countless articles of the great importance of prosody and that listeners easily infer the emotional state of speakers through acoustic information. However, despite decades of res…
What we mean when we say semantic: Toward a multidisciplinary semantic glossary
Tulving characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that underlies language and many other cognitive processes. This perspective on lexical and conceptual knowledge galvanized a new era of research undertaken by numerous fields, each with their own idiosyncratic methods and terminology. For example, “concept” has different meanings in philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. As such, many fundamental constructs used to delineate…
Syllabic rhythm and prior linguistic knowledge interact with individual differences to modulate phonological statistical learning
Phonological statistical learning - our ability to extract meaningful regularities from spoken language - is considered critical in the early stages of language acquisition, in particular for helping to identify discrete words in continuous speech. Most phonological statistical learning studies use an experimental task introduced by Saffran et al. (1996), in which the syllables forming the words to be learned are presented continuously and isochr…
The variably intense vocalizations of affect and emotion (Vivae) corpus prompts new perspective on nonspeech perception
The human voice is a potent source of information to signal emotion. Nonspeech vocalizations (e.g., laughter, crying, moans, or screams), in particular, can elicit compelling affective experiences. Consensus exists that the emotional intensity of such expressions matters; however how intensity affects such signals, and their perception remains controversial and poorly understood. One reason is the lack of appropriate data sets. We have developed …
Preferred auditory temporal processing regimes and auditory-motor synchronization
Decoding the rich temporal dynamics of complex sounds such as speech is constrained by the underlying neuronal-processing mechanisms. Oscillatory theories suggest the existence of one optimal perceptual performance regime at auditory stimulation rates in the delta to theta range (
Neuroscience Research in the Classroom: Portable Brain Technologies in Education Research
Cognitive neuroscience research is typically conducted in controlled laboratory environments and therefore its contribution to our understanding of learning in real-world environments is limited. In recent years, however, portable and wearable brain devices have become more readily available for classroom-based research. Complementing existing education research methods, these emerging technologies could provide information about learning process…
Eye movements during text reading align with the rate of speech production
Speaking rhythmically can shape hearing
Spectrotemporal modulation provides a unifying framework for auditory cortical asymmetries
Imagined speech influences perceived loudness of sound
Cortical tracking of hierarchical linguistic structures in connected speech
Cortical oscillations and speech processing: Emerging computational principles and operations
A cortical network for semantics: (De)constructing the N400
The cortical organization of speech processing
Dorsal and ventral streams: A framework for understanding aspects of the functional anatomy of language
The Full Competence Hypothesis of Clause Structure in Early German
We argue that young German children have the major functional sentential heads, in particular the inflectional and complementizer systems. The major empirical basis is natural production data from a 25-month-old child. We perform quantitative analyses which show that the full complement of functional categories is available to the child, and that what crucially distinguishes the child's grammar from the adult's is the use of infinitives in matrix…
