1. 1. Effect of phonological and semantic predictability on perceived clarity of degraded speech for non-native listeners

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Kaori Hoshi Larsson; [2022]
   Keywords : speech perception; speech recognition; perceptual clarity; non-native; noise-vocoding; predictability; working memory; verbal fluency;

   Abstract : Many of us have experienced that speech in a non-native language under noise can be challenging. This study examined whether semantic and phonological predictability improves the intelligibility of degraded speech in a non-native language. An online experiment was conducted with 15 participants.

   Keywords : Foreign word grapheme-to-phoneme transcription; TTS; text-to-speech; Icelandic; Icelandic phonology; g2p; foreign word g2p;

   Abstract : Foreign words, such as names, locations or sometimes entire phrases, are a problem for any system that is meant to convert graphemes to phonemes (g2p; i.e.converting written text into phonetic transcription). READ MORE

4. 3. Modelling Immediate Serial Recall using a Bayesian Attractor Neural Network

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Julia Ericson; [2021]
   Keywords : Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Network; Phonological Loop; Computational model; Immediate serial recall; Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Network; Fonologiska loopen; Datorsimulation; Sekventiellt korttidsminne;

   Abstract : In the last decades, computational models have become useful tools for studying biological neural networks. These models are typically constrained by either behavioural data from neuropsychological studies or by biological data from neuroscience. READ MORE

5. 4. Sloppy, slab and slender: a comparative study of the phonaestheme sl- in English and Swedish

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Engelska

   Author : Christoffer Modig Forser; [2019]

6. 5. The PhonicStick : Can intense training with the PhonicStick affecvt phonological ability in children with an atypical language development?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Logopedi

   Author : Fanny Lundberg; Nicole Sidendal; [2015]
   Keywords : The PhonicStick; Phonological ability; atypical language development; The PhonicStick; Fonologisk förmåga; atypisk språkutveckling;

   Abstract : The present study investigates if intense training with the PhonicStick, a speech generating joystick developed originally as a communication device, has an effect on phonological ability in children with an atypical language development. Previous studies connected to the PhonicStick and phonological ability has not shown any improvement of phonological awareness due to training with the device. READ MORE
