Sound changes that lead to seeing longer-lasting shapes
(Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2018)
To survive, people must construct an accurate representation of the world around them. There is a body of research on visual
scene analysis, and a largely separate literature on auditory scene analysis. The current study ...
Voluntary language switching: When and why do bilinguals switch between their languages?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2018)
Bilingual language switching has been studied extensively in cued picture naming paradigms, instructing bilinguals
when to switch between languages. However, in daily life, bilinguals often switch freely, without ...

How much do visual cues help listeners in perceiving accented speech?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)
It has been documented that lipreading facilitates the understanding of difficult speech, such as noisy speech and time-compressed speech. However, relatively little work has addressed the role of visual information in ...
The Role of Native Language and the Fundamental Design of the Auditory System in Detecting Rhythm Changes
(Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing, 2019)
Purpose: We investigated whether rhythm discrimination
is mainly driven by the native language of the listener or
by the fundamental design of the human auditory system
and universal cognitive mechanisms shared by all ...
Regularity in speech rhythm as a social coalition signal
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)
Regular rhythm facilitates audiomotor entrainment and synchronization in motor behavior and vocalizations
between individuals. As rhythm entrainment between interacting agents is correlated with higher levels of ...
Is speech recognition automatic? Lexical competition, but not initial lexical access, requires cognitive resources
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2018)
Current models of spoken word recognition suggest that multiple lexical candidates are activated in parallel upon hearing an utterance, with these lexical hypotheses competing with each other for recognition. The current ...
Better than native: Tone language experience enhances English lexical stress discrimination in Cantonese-English bilingual listeners
(Cognition, 2019)
While many second language (L2) listeners are known to struggle when discriminating non-native features absent in their first language (L1), no study has reported that L2 listeners perform better than native listeners in ...
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)
The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ...
Speech Rhythm Convergence as a Social Coalition Signal
(Evolutionary Psychology, 2019)
Patterns of nonverbal and verbal behavior of interlocutors become more similar as communication progresses. Rhythm
entrainment promotes prosocial behavior and signals social bonding and cooperation. Yet, it is unknown if ...
