Toscano, J. C., & McMurray, B. (2012, November). Poster presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society, Minneapolis, MN.
Abstract: A great deal of work in speech has argued that invariant acoustic cues do not exist, leading many researchers to conclude that listeners use specialized representations, such as talkers’ inferred gestures, instead... Read more →
Toscano, J. C., & McMurray, B. (2012, January). Poster presented at the 6th Conference of the Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience Society, Tucson, AZ.
Abstract:
To recognize speech, listeners must map continuous acoustic features in the sound signal onto discrete units (e.g., phonemes, words). An important question is whether speech sounds are initially encoded in terms of continuous cues or whether listeners perceive them only in terms of categories... Read more →
Toscano, J. C., & McMurray, B. (2011, November). Paper presented at the 10th Auditory Perception, Cognition, and Action Meeting, Seattle WA.
Abstract: An important question in speech perception is whether listeners encode speech sounds in terms of continuous acoustic cues at early stages of processing or whether they perceive them only in terms of categories... Read more →
Toscano, J. C. (2011). Doctoral dissertation, University of Iowa.
Abstract:
Several fundamental questions about speech perception concern how listeners understand spoken language despite considerable variability in speech sounds across different contexts (the problem of lack of invariance in speech)... Read more →

Toscano, J. C. & McMurray, B. (2008, October). Talk presented at the 14th Midcontinental Workshop on Phonology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN.
Abstract:
Phonological distinctions, such as voicing, are manifested as variations in continuous acoustic cues in the speech signal. These cues are ultimately categorized into a small number of distinct phonological categories... Read more →
