Psychological & Brain Sciences 391PR - S- Perception of Language

The course will examine human speech recognition. A special focus will be on how humans recognize the sounds and words a speaker produces from both hearing and seeing the speaker. We will examine the basic mechanisms and mental representations involved in how humans recognize speech from these two modalities. We will discuss original research articles describing empirical research and prominent theories and models of speech perception.
