BLAB postdoc, Sarah Bakst, speaks about speech target practice in second language learners at UW-Milwaukee. Target practice: self-monitoring in L1 and L2 speech production Sarah Bakst & Carrie Niziolek We listen to ourselves while speaking to ensure that we say what we intended to say and how we intended to say it. In a native …
Carrie Niziolek speaks at Northwestern University for the Cognitive Science program. Language made audible: How speech acoustics reflect cognition Carrie Niziolek Our speech output reflects the plethora of processes that goes into its planning. Using acoustic analyses of words produced in challenging circumstances (e.g. with abnormal sensory feedback, in a non-native language, or in …
BLAB Lab P.I., Carrie Niziolek, presents research findings at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society conference in San Francisco. Effects of cognitive interference and priming on speech acoustics Caroline Niziolek Are there interactions between cognitive interference, priming, and speech production? In a series of experiments, we manipulated the temporal relationship between a visually-presented distractor word and …
