Auditory phonetics is concerned with both segmental (chiefly vowels and consonants) and prosodic (such as stress, tone, rhythm and intonation) aspects of speech.While it is possible to study the auditory perception of these phenomena without context, in continuous speech all these variables are processed in parallel with significant variability and complex interactions between them.
Phonological awareness is an auditory skill that is developed through a variety of activities that expose students to the sound structure of the language and teach them to recognize, identify and manipulate it. Listening skills are an important foundation for the development of phonological awareness and they generally develop first.
Auditory learners may have a propensity for using audible signals like changes in tone to aid in recollection. For example, when memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner might say it out loud and then remember how it sounded to recall it. Auditory learners may solve problems by talking them through.
To study auditory learning and memory, songbirds can be used. To study more complex systems such as motor learning, object recognition , short term memory and working memory, often primates such as the macaque monkey are used because of their large brains and more sophisticated intelligence. [ 33 ]
The sucking-rate and the head-turn method are some of the more traditional, behavioral methods for studying speech perception. Among the new methods (see Research methods below) that help us to study speech perception, near-infrared spectroscopy is widely used in infants. [28]
Computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) is the study of auditory scene analysis by computational means. [1] In essence, CASA systems are "machine listening" systems that aim to separate mixtures of sound sources in the same way that human listeners do.
Oralism is the education of deaf students through oral language by using lip reading, speech, and mimicking the mouth shapes and breathing patterns of speech. [1] Oralism came into popular use in the United States around the late 1860s.
Computer audition (CA) or machine listening is the general field of study of algorithms and systems for audio interpretation by machines. [1] [2] Since the notion of what it means for a machine to "hear" is very broad and somewhat vague, computer audition attempts to bring together several disciplines that originally dealt with specific problems or had a concrete application in mind.
