1. Perception, Analysis and Synthesis of Speaker Age
Sammanfattning : Speaker age is an important paralinguistic feature in speech which has to be considered in the study of phonetic variation. Knowledge about this feature may be used to improve speech technology applications, e.g. automatic speech recognition and speech synthesis. LÄS MER
2. The acquisition of contrast : a longitudinal investigation of initial s+plosive cluster development in Swedish children
Sammanfattning : This Thesis explores the development of word-initial s+plosive consonant clusters in the speech of Swedish children between the ages of 1;6 and 4;6. Development in the word-initial consonant clusters is viewed as being determined by 1) the children’s ability to articulate the target sequence of consonants, 2) the level of understanding of which acoustic features in the adult model production are significant for the signalling of the intended distinction, and 3) the children’s ability to apply established production patterns only to productions where the acquired feature agrees with the adult target, to achieve a contrast between rival output forms.

3. Brain anatomical correlates of perceptual phonological proficiency and language learning aptitude
Sammanfattning : The present dissertation concerns how brain tissue properties reflect proficiency in two aspects of language use: the ability to use tonal cues on word stems to predict how words will end and the aptitude for learning foreign languages. While it is known that people differ in their language abilities and that damage to brain tissue cause loss of cognitive functions, it is largely unknown if differences in language proficiencies correlate with differences in brain structure.

4. Self-motion and Presence in the Perceptual Optimization of a Multisensory Virtual Reality Environment
Sammanfattning : Determining the perceptually optimal resolution of multisensory renderingmight help to foster the development of cost-effective, highly immersivemulti-modal displays for mediated environments (e.g. virtual and augmentedreality). LÄS MER
5. Modes of Apprehension, and Indicators thereof, in Visual Discrimination of Relative Mass
Sammanfattning : Perception is a fundamental function because it allows organisms to be in contact with the environment and adjust to environmental conditions. Humans also possess higher intellectual functions, which allow for elaborate handling of perceptually obtained information. LÄS MER
