Official title
Examining the Impact of Non-linguistic Incidental Auditory Category Training on Adult Language Acquisition
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The overarching goal of the proposed research is to understand how human listeners learn speech categories. The project takes a prospective approach with adult second-language learners, blending empirical, methodological and theoretical advances from laboratory studies with explicit classroom instruction. The central hypothesis is that incidentally-acquired nonlinguistic perceptual building block categories may support speech perception and production in a second language. The project will advance important theoretical debates about the cross-talk between general auditory representations and speech categories and will provide a novel approach to nudging adult learners off learning plateau typically encountered in classroom instruction.
