“…Literacy has also been shown to influence categorical perception in speech. Serniclaes et al (2005) showed that literates displayed sharper boundary precision in response to ba-da contrasts than illiterates, an effect that correlated with reading level (Hoonhorst et al, 2011). Such findings are consistent with an increase in the fidelity of phonological representation as a consequence of literacy, yet could instead indicate a more subtle refinement of categorical boundaries rather than confirming a prior absence of phoneme level representations (Burnham, 2003).…”

“…Is perceptual categorisation of speech sounds dependent on reading acquisition (Burnham, 2003)? Does literacy lead to a finer tuning of perceptual categories and, consequently, improvements in the precision of phoneme identification (Hoonhorst et al, 2011;Serniclaes, Ventura, Morais, & Kolinsky, 2005)? Or does literacy not play a crucial role, instead is it that the fidelity of phonological representations increases across development driven by the need to differentiate, within an increasingly large lexicon, between an increasing number of phonologically similar items (Garlock, Walley, & Metsala, 2001;Storkel, 2002)?…”

a b s t r a c tLearning to read and write requires an individual to connect additional orthographic representations to pre-existing mappings between phonological and semantic representations of words. Past empirical results suggest that the process of learning to read and write (at least in alphabetic languages) elicits changes in the language processing system, by either increasing the cognitive efficiency of mapping between representations associated with a word, or by changing the granularity of phonological processing of spoken language, or through a combination of both. Behavioural effects of literacy have typically been assessed in offline explicit tasks that have addressed only phonological processing. However, a recent eye tracking study compared high and low literate participants on effects of phonology and semantics in processing measured implicitly using eye movements. High literates' eye movements were more affected by phonological overlap in online speech than low literates, with only subtle differences observed in semantics. We determined whether these effects were due to cognitive efficiency and/or granularity of speech processing in a multimodal model of speech processing -the amodal shared resource model (ASR, Smith, Monaghan, & Huettig, 2013a,b). We found that cognitive efficiency in the model had only a marginal effect on semantic processing and did not affect performance for phonological processing, whereas fine-grained versus coarse-grained

“…faces and other stimuli according to which emotion we think they are expressing: some faces are happy, others fearful, and so on. From five months of age, or possibly much earlier (Field et al 1982), through to adulthood, humans are beer at distinguishing faces when they differ with respect to these categories than when they do not (Etcoff & Magee 1992;Gelder et al 1997;Bornstein & Arterberry 2003;Kotsoni et al 2001;Cheal & Rutherford 2011;Hoonhorst et al 2011). To illustrate, consider Figure 3.…”

Perceiving expressions of emotion: What evidence could bear on questions about perceptual experience of mental states?

What evidence could bear on questions about whether humans ever perceptually experience any of another's mental states, and how might those questions be made precise enough to test experimentally? is paper focusses on emotions and their expression. It is proposed that research on perceptual experiences of physical properties provides one model for thinking about what evidence concerning expressions of emotion might reveal about perceptual experiences of others' mental states. is proposal motivates consideration of the hypothesis that categorical perception of expressions of emotion occurs, can be facilitated by information about agents' emotions, and gives rise to phenomenal expectations. It is argued that the truth of this hypothesis would support a modest version of the claim that humans sometimes perceptually experience some of another's mental states. Much available evidence is consistent with, but insufficient to establish, the truth of the hypothesis. We are probably not yet in a position to know whether humans ever perceptually experience others' mental states.

“…The phonemic representation is the final product of a development process that has two important stages: the integration of universal allophonic characteristics into specific phonological characteristics of the language that happens when the individual is around one year old, and the combination of phonological characteristics into phonemic segments, which happens between 5 and 6 years old (Hoonhorst et al, 2011).…”

“…Therefore, the categorical perception is adaptive since it enables rapid classification of transient events, like the succession of phonemes in speech, by allowing neglect of irrelevant stimulus information (Bogliotti et al, 2008). To Hoonhorst et al (2011), through the transformation of sensations into discreet representations, categorical perception is an economic way of processing the information flow present in the environment.…”

-This study aims to examine contemporary theories on dyslexia, based on findings related to changes in auditory processing and speech perception found in dyslexics. The support for the phonological, allophonic and auditory deficit theories of dyslexia is discussed based on findings related to these changes in auditory perception. A new theoretical model is proposed, according to which dyslexia is a multifactorial-based deficit, with a gamut of associated behavioral symptoms. The deficit presented by dyslexics is partially linguistic, as advocated by the phonological theory, and partially auditory, as advocated by the theory of auditory deficit. Both factors interact and are inseparable in accounting for the symptomatology observed in reading and writing disorders.
