Lexical Bias in Speech Errors
… bias effect---the tendency for phonological speech errors to be more likely when the outcomes are real words rather than nonwords. This lexical effect on phonological processing can be explained either by feedback, (Dell, 1986); or in models where feedback is prohibited, by a prearticulatory …

Learning phonotactic constraints in the production of non-native consonant clusters, as reflected in speech errors
… show that speakers are able to acquire new speech patterns following minimal exposure, even when these patterns involve sequences unattested in the participants’ native languages (e.g., Dell, Reed, Adams, & Meyer, 2000; Taylor and Houghton, 2005; Whalen & Dell, 2006). However, if the …

When life gives you lemons, make a left: Investigation of contextualization of learning in speech production using speech errors
Language production is a flexible yet complex system and is constantly updated by new experience. Within this system, implicit phonotactic learning provides a window into how speakers acquire and generalize rules that govern sound patterns. This thesis investigates how such rules are represented, …

Investigating the Mechanisms Behind Phonotactic Learning From Recent Production Experience
… and that this learning is reflected in their speech errors. However, second-order constraints in which the placement of a consonant depends on another characteristic of the syllable require a longer learning period. Six experiments that use speech errors as a measure of learning were designed …

Effect of locus of control and instructions on speech performance under delayed auditory feedback
… of control and differential instructions on speech performance under delayed auditory feedback (DAF). It was hypothesized that internals would perform better under skill instructions than under chance instructions, and conversely, that externals would perform better under chance instructions …

Speech Motor Control in Younger and Older Adults: The Effect of Age and Individual Differences on Speech Error Production
… dissertation investigates three main issues in speech motor control, all of which are explored through the lens of speech error production. The speech error elicitation task used is the alternating onset, identical coda (e.g. ‘top cop’) paradigm, which in this incarnation is executed in time to …

Speaking Japanese: L1 and L2 grammatical encoding of case particles and adjectives/adjectival nouns
… and (2) case particle selection, by examining speech errors (e.g., L1 and L2 errors that occurred during picture description experiments, in addition to naturally occurring L1 errors). L2 Japanese speakers also participated in several other tasks, including tasks that assessed their knowledge …

Phonetic Features in Language Production: An Experimental Examination of Phonetic Feature Errors
… behavior of phonemes in experimentally elicited speech errors (e.g. Baars & Motley, 1976; Butterworth & Whittaker, 1980; Dell, 1986; Dell, Reed, Adams, & Meyer, 2000; Stemberger, 1991), none have looked at unambiguous phonetic feature errors in speech error experiments. To date, examinations of …

A survey of the articulation of the children of the Madison School, Stockton, California
… of this study (1) to throw light upon specific speech needs of pupils in one of the elementary schools in Stockton; (2) to throw light on the status of speech in a school population among which the factors of low I.Q. retarded academic progress, exceptionally limited economic background, and …

Modeling temporal coordination in speech production using an artificial central pattern generator neural network
… formal and biologically plausible models of the speech production and planning system. Models based on oscillators have been successful in simulating gestural dynamics, and more recently, some suprasegmental timing patterns. This dissertation explores how different levels of phonological …

Immediate transfer of learning from speech perception to speech production
… later perception (Onishi et al., 2002), and speech production errors reflect constraints present in recently spoken syllables (Dell et al., 2000). There is little evidence, however, that such phonotactic learning can transfer between perception and production (Warker et al., 2009). In three …

Disfluencies and Rate of Speech of Young Adult Normal Talkers in an Interview Situation
… little research has been conducted concerning speech disfluency in normal talkers. Virtually no data are available to document percentage of disfluency and rate of speech of nonstutterers in a speech pathology clinical interview situation. Consequently, it is difficult to compare progress made …

Implicit learning of phonotactics: an example of pure associative learning?
… to study the processes of implicit learning in speech production, research participants were exposed to sequences of nonsense syllables which obeyed artificial phonotactic constraints. For example, /f/ showed up only at the beginning of syllables for some participants (whereas in English, it …

Speed limits and red flags: why number agreement accidents happen
… in language production sometimes surfaces in errors and sometimes surfaces in delays. Since these two symptoms of difficulty can trade off, theories may make predictions that are confirmed with measures of accuracy but disconfirmed with measures of speed, and vice-versa. In work on grammatical …

“The furious friend whacked with books” interferes: The effect of concurrent experiences of English on the learning of artificial phonotactic rules

Is comprehension necessary for error detection? A conflict-based account of monitoring in speech production
Although speech is error-prone, verbal communication is successful because speakers can detect (and correct) their errors. The standard theory of speech-error detection, the perceptual-loop account, posits that the comprehension system monitors production output for errors. Such a …

Auditory-motor integration influences on speech motor control and fluency: a comparison of normally fluent speakers and people who stutter
… effects of delayed auditory feedback (DAF) on speech motor stability and speech fluency in normally fluent adults (PWNS) and to compare them with effects on adults who exhibit persistent stuttering. If the auditory processing influences differently the two groups, it might shed light on the …

Quantitative determinants of prefabs: A corpus-based, experimental study of multiword units in the lexicon
… participants are asked to listen to stretches of speech and repeat the input verbatim, after performing a distractor task intended to encourage reliance on prefabs. I describe the results of an updated experiment which demonstrates that participants are less likely to interrupt or partially alter …
