Speech perception, speech acoustics, computer-based speech training aids
Psychophysical studies of speech and complex, non-speech sounds with normal and impaired listeners Auditory models of speech processing Computer-based speech training aids for improving disordered speech and for reducing foreign accent Microcomputer applications of voice input/output for communication disorders
Basic research interests focus on the perception of speech and complex, non-speech sounds. Recently the psychophysical thresholds for vowels have been investigated for both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired populations.A second area of research has investigated the principles and techniques for developing computer-based speech training aids.
Perception of speech and complex, non-speech sounds; principles and techniques for developing computer-based speech training aids for misarticulating children and adults and for foreign accent reduction.
