Hyperarticulation aids learning of new vowels in a developmental speech acquisition model

Abstract: Abstract-Many studies emphasize the importance of infantdirected speech: stronger articulated, higher-quality speech helps infants to better distinguish different speech sounds. This effect has been widely investigated in terms of the infant's perceptual capabilities, but few studies examined whether infantdirected speech has an effect on articulatory learning.In earlier studies, we developed a model that learns articulatory control for a 3D vocal tract model via goal babbling. Exploration is organized in the … Show more

“…A gradual development of the goal space from coarse to fine-grained perception of speech is not only developmentally plausible [78], but could also help to overcome another problem: while it is possible to learn a large amount of vowel sounds in a single goal space [79], the attempt to acquire a larger amount of syllable sounds in parallel impairs the performance [51]. Higher dimensional goal spaces or a stepwise approach to learning could remedy this shortcoming.…”
