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., Anderson, N. D., & McMurray, B. (2011, October). Paper presented at the 17th Mid-Continental Phonetics and Phonology Conference, Urbana, IL.
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...

Clayards, M. & Toscano, J. C. (2010, August). Poster presented at the 32nd Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society. Portland, OR.
Abstract: Age of exposure is known to be an important indicator of second language proficiency. Native-like phonological proficiency is attained only by learners exposed at the earliest ages. This paper examines one account of age-of-exposure effects... Read more →
McMurray, B., Apfelbaum, K. S., Toscano, J. C., & Samuelson, L. K. (2010, March). Paper presented at the 2010 International Conference on Infant Studies, Baltimore, MD.
Abstract:
Research on word learning is riddled with meta-theoretical claims about the difficulty of the problem–the amount of ambiguity; the rate of acquisition; non-obvious or conceptual information sources—that point toward specialized mechanisms attuned for lexical development... Read more →
