PRODUCTION AND PERCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF SPEECH PRODUCED IN NOISE
… and temporal characteristics, and explores the perceptual consequence of these changes. The thesis consists of a series of experimental studies, which involve the analysis of speech corpora collected under different noise conditions, with and without a communicative task. Intelligibility is also …

The viability of perceptual analysis in predicting social impacts : a case study
While no one impact is identical to the next, the case of the University of Cape Town's purchase and take-over of two local flat complexes; Forest Hills and Liesbeek Gardens; represented a unique opportunity to compare two impacts analogous in all respects but time. Because one impact had already …

An acoustic and perceptual analysis of vowels preceding final /-s/ deletion in the speech of Granada, Spain and Cartagena, Colombia
<p>The objective of this dissertation is to explore the phenomenon of<em>desdoblamiento vocálico</em> or tense-lax vowel alternation in eastern Andalusian Spanish, particularly, in Granada Spanish and in the Spanish of Cartagena, Colombia. In previous studies of Eastern Andalusian Spanish (Navarro …

ISOLATING EFFECTS OF PERCEPTUAL ANALYSIS AND SOCIOCULTURAL CONTEXT ON CHILDREN’S COMPREHENSION OF TWO DIALECTS OF ENGLISH, AFRICAN AMERICAN ENGLISH AND GENERAL AMERICAN ENGLISH
… explanation for these results has been the perceptual analysis hypothesis, a framework that asserts that linguistic differences across dialects creates challenges in mapping variable speech signals to listeners’ stored mental representations (Adank et al., 2009; Clopper, 2012; Clopper & …

A Perceptual, Acoustic-Phonetic, and Linguistic Analysis of Cluttering
… old boy diagnosed as a clutterer was analyzed perceptually and spectrographically to determine what, if any, unique features distinguished his cluttered speech. These analyses were conducted on ten utterances that were judged to contain cluttering. The subject repeated the ten utterances as …

Perceptual and comparative analyses of a passive, linear, multiple degree-of-freedom skin stretch device for proprioceptive substitution
… information. The first study applies perceptual analysis to show that the structure and dimensionality of the task of interpreting multiple degree-of-freedom proprioceptive information is the same as the structure and dimensionality of the perceptual space that is associated with our …

Perceptual and acoustic features of speech in individuals with Down syndrome and their impact on speech intelligibility
… methods can be used to evaluate these aspects. Perceptual analysis methods are frequently employed; however, their reliability has been called into question. Acoustic analysis methods can provide a more objective view of certain aspects of speech production. For example, mean fundamental …

Generalizable and Efficient Novel View Synthesis with Perceptual Foundations
… that are robust, efficient, dynamic-aware, and perceptually aligned. To achieve this objective, we introduce a series of integrated contributions that enhance generalizable novel view synthesis models by improving reconstruction robustness, boosting rendering efficiency, and incorporating …

Characterizing the spatiotemporal profile and the level of abstractness of action representations: neural decoding of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data
… argued that actions are understood based on a perceptual analysis, with access to action knowledge stored in the conceptual system (cognitive theories of action understanding). It has been argued earlier that areas that play a crucial role for action understanding should be able to (a) …
