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.
Open to Senior and Junior Psychology majors only. PSYCH 241 or LINGUIST 201 Ling 201 or Psych 318 are recommended prerequisites.
Permission is required for interchange registration during all registration periods.
