10 Terms

1

Speech Perception

The process of understanding spoken language; more complex than it appears due to automatic brain processing.

New cards
2

Co-articulation

The influence of adjacent sounds on one another during speech production, contributing to acoustic variability.

New cards
3

Source Filter Theory

A model describing speech production as involving a sound source (vocal cords) and a filter (vocal tract) that shapes the sounds.

New cards
4

Phoneme

The smallest unit of speech that conveys meaning; changing one phoneme can change the word's meaning.

New cards
5

Spectrogram

A visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies in a sound signal as they vary with time.

New cards
6

Formants

Distinct frequency bands of energy in speech, crucial for differentiating vowel and consonant sounds.

New cards
7

Categorical Perception

The phenomenon where perceivable sounds are classified into distinct categories rather than being perceived continuously.

New cards
8

The Now or Never Bottleneck

The challenge of processing speech in real time, where previous sounds must be understood before new sounds overwrite them.

New cards
9

McGurk Effect

A perceptual phenomenon where conflicting visual and auditory stimuli lead to a combination of the perceived sounds.

New cards
10

Acoustic Variability

The differences in acoustic signal even when the same speech sounds are produced, influenced by speaker differences and context.
