Published without a dust jacket. -- Speech recognition in 'adverse conditions' has been a familiar area of research in computer science, engineering, and hearing sciences for several decades. In contrast, most psycholinguistic theories of speech recognition are built upon evidence gathered from tasks performed by healthy listeners on carefully recorded speech, in a quiet environment, and under conditions of undivided attention. Building upon the momentum initiated by the Psycholinguistic Approaches to Speech Recognition in Adverse Conditions workshop held in Bristol, UK, in 2010, the aim of this volume is to promote a multi-disciplinary, yet unified approach to the perceptual, cognitive, and neuro-physiological mechanisms underpinning the recognition of degraded speech, variable speech, speech experienced under cognitive load, and speech experienced by theoretically relevant populations. This collection opens with a review of the literature and a formal classification of adverse conditions. The research articles then highlight those adverse conditions with the greatest potential for constraining theory, showing that some speech phenomena often believed to be immutable can be affected by noise, surface variations, or attentional set in ways that will force researchers to rethink their theory. This volume is essential for those interested in speech recognition outside laboratory constraints. -- Contents: Speech Recognition in Adverse Conditions: A Review; Talker-Specific Perceptual Adaptation During Online Speech Perception; Effects of Dialect Variation on the Semantic Predictability Benefit; Word Learning Under Adverse Listening Conditions: Context-Specific Recognition; Familiarisation Conditions and the Mechanisms That Underlie Improved Recognition of Dysarthric Speech; Effect of Energetic and Informational Masking on the Time-Course of Stream Segregation: Evidence That Streaming Depends on Vocal Fine Structure Cues; Speech-in-Speech Recognition: A Training Study; Sentence Comprehension in Competing Speech: Dichotic Sentence-Word Priming Reveals Hemispheric Differences in Auditory Semantic Processing; Brain Regions Recruited for the Effortful Comprehension of Noise-Vocoded Words; Audiovisual Benefit for Recognition of Speech Presented With Single-Talker Noise in Older Listeners; Sentence Comprehension in Proficient Adult Cochlear Implant Users: On the Vulnerability of Syntax; Increased Lexical Activation and Reduced Competition in Second-Language Listening; A Lexically Biased Attentional Set Compensates for Variable Speech Quality Caused by Pronunciation Variation; Adverse Conditions Improve Distinguishability of Auditory, Motor and Perceptuo-Motor Theories of Speech Perception: An Exploratory Bayesian Modelling Study; Index.…
