Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Previous research has indicated the important role of visual information in the speech perception process. These studies have elucidated the areas of the brain involved in the processing of audiovisual stimuli. The McGurk effect, an audiovisual illusion, has been demonstrated to be a useful tool in the study of audiovisual integration. Brain imaging research suggests that the McGurk effect is modulated by brain structures in the Superior Temporal Gyrus, Supplemental Temporal Cortex and Broadman area 41. Electrophysiological studies suggest that the McGurk effect generates a different brainwave than the standard audiovisual congruent condition in frontal, central and parietal regions among …

Previous work demonstrates that talker-specific details tend to affect language perception relatively late in processing. One possible explanation for this time-course effect may be that the listeners in the previous study were presented with unfamiliar talkers. Under conditions where one has been repeatedly exposed to a talker, as is typically the case with famous people, talker-specific details may affect perceptual processing relatively early. The present research sought to explore the potential for relatively early talker effects in the perception of words spoken by famous talkers in a speeded-shadowing task. Words were presented using a long-term repetition priming paradigm where half …
