Sentential, lexical, and acoustic effects on the perception of word boundariesSven L Mattys
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, Avon, United Kingdom
J Acoust Soc Am 122:554-67. 2007..The results highlight the graded, interactive, and flexible nature of multicue segmentation, as well as functional differences between sentential and lexical contributions to this process...- On building models of spoken-word recognition: when there is as much to learn from natural "oddities" as artificial normalitySven L Mattys
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, 12a Priory Road, Bristol BS8 1TU, England
Percept Psychophys 70:1235-42. 2008..We conclude by advocating the use of laboratory and naturally occurring degraded speech in tandem and more systematic cross-talks between psycholinguistics and the speech sciences... - Effects of syntactic expectations on speech segmentationSven L Mattys
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 33:960-77. 2007..Taken together, the data suggest that syntactic knowledge can facilitate segmentation but that its effect is substantially attenuated if conflicting acoustic cues are encountered before full realization of the syntactic constraint... - How do syllables contribute to the perception of spoken English? insight from the migration paradigmSven L Mattys
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, 8 Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1TN, UK
Lang Speech 48:223-53. 2005..Together, the data suggest that syllables have a greater contribution to the perception of spoken English than previously assumed... - Integration of multiple speech segmentation cues: a hierarchical frameworkSven L Mattys
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, England, UK
J Exp Psychol Gen 134:477-500. 2005..Taken together, the results call for an integrated, hierarchical, and signal-contingent approach to speech segmentation... - Detecting silent pauses in speech: a new tool for measuring on-line lexical and semantic processingSven L Mattys
University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom
Psychol Sci 16:958-64. 2005..Thus, both the behavioral and the electrophysiological responses to pauses suggest that lexical and semantic processes are highly interactive and that their integration occurs rapidly during speech comprehension... - Stress versus coarticulation: toward an integrated approach to explicit speech segmentationSven L Mattys
University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 30:397-408. 2004..More generally, they call for an integrated and signal-contingent approach to speech segmentation... - Stimulus-based lexical distinctiveness as a general word-recognition mechanismSven L Mattys
House Ear Institute, Los Angeles, California 90057, USA
Percept Psychophys 64:667-79. 2002..In particular, the results suggest that stimulus-based lexical distinctiveness is a valid construct to describe the underlying machinery of both visual and auditory spoken word recognition... - Do infants segment words or recurring contiguous patterns?S L Mattys
Department of Psychology and Department of Cognitive Science, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 27:644-55. 2001..Instead, they are sensitive to both acoustic and allophonic cues to word boundaries. Moreover, there is a sizable developmental gap between consonant- and vowel-initial word segmentation... - Phonotactic cues for segmentation of fluent speech by infantsS L Mattys
Department of Psychology, Johns Hopkins University, MD, Baltimore, USA
Cognition 78:91-121. 2001..Together, the results suggest that 9-month-olds use probabilistic phonotactics to segment speech into words and that high-probability between-word clusters are interpreted as both word onsets and word offsets... - Recognizing speech under a processing load: dissociating energetic from informational factorsSven L Mattys
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Cogn Psychol 59:203-43. 2009.... - The activation of embedded words in spoken word identification is robust but constrained: evidence from the picture-word interference paradigmJeffrey S Bowers
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 35:1585-97. 2009..We also consider the possible advantages of the PWI task over cross-modal priming and "visual-world" procedures when studying these issues... - Preserved implicit knowledge of a forgotten childhood languageJeffrey S Bowers
University of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TU, UK
Psychol Sci 20:1064-9. 2009..This research highlights the lasting impact of early language experience in shaping speech perception, and the value of exposing children to foreign languages even if such exposure does not continue into adulthood... - How stable are acoustic metrics of contrastive speech rhythm?Lukas Wiget
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, 12a Priory Road, Bristol BS8 1TU, United Kingdom
J Acoust Soc Am 127:1559-69. 2010..A number of recommendations for researchers wishing to exploit contrastive rhythm metrics are offered in conclusion... - Phonotactic and prosodic effects on word segmentation in infantsS L Mattys
Departments of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland 21218 2686, USA
Cogn Psychol 38:465-94. 1999..The implications of these results are discussed in light of an integrated multiple-cue approach to speech segmentation in infancy... - Acoustic cues to lexical segmentation: a study of resynthesized speechStephanie M Spitzer
Motor Speech Disorders Laboratory, Department of Speech and Hearing Science, Arizona State University, Box 870102, Tempe, Arizona 85281 0102, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 122:3678-87. 2007....
