My research examines numerous areas of speech production and perception in healthy and disordered populations, with a particular focus on children鈥檚 speech development and the neural control of oral听articulatory movements. Current studies in the lab make use of real-time signal processing to听alter a talker鈥檚 auditory feedback during speech production. The capacity for talkers to adapt their speech output to compensate听for such manipulations is examined in relation to their underlying oral motor and auditory perceptual abilities. 听 By exploring the听relationship between sensorimotor abilities and the capacity for speech motor learning, we hope to better understand how these听factors contribute to speech development, as well as the role of sensory and motor deficits in speech disorders.
