Abstract: Models of spoken word recognition assume that words are represented as sequences of phonemes. We evaluated this assumption by examining phonemic anadromes, words that share the same phonemes but differ in their order (e.g., .. Read more →

Abstract: Work on language comprehension is classically divided into two fields. Speech perception asks how listeners cope with variability from factors like talker and coarticulation to compute some phoneme-like unit; and word recognition assumed these units to ask how listeners cope with time and match the input to the lexicon...

Toscano, J. C., Anderson, N. D., & McMurray, B. (2011, November). Poster presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society, Seattle, WA.
Abstract: A challenging problem in spoken word recognition is time: speech unfolds over time, and temporal order appears crucial for distinguishing words (cat vs... Read more →

Abstract:
A basic challenge in understanding spoken word recognition is that speech unfolds over time. This has led to a great deal of work in psycholinguistics on how listeners deal with temporary ambiguity (Allopenna, Magnuson, & Tanenhaus, 1998; Luce & Pisoni, 1998; Marslen-Wilson, 1987), demonstrating that during early time points in a word (when its identity is still ambiguous), listeners consider multiple lexical candidates that compete for recognition...
