My lab is hiring a postdoc!!!

More info is here: speechperceptionproductionlab.com/postdoctoral-p…

I'm happy to answer any questions that aren't covered in the ad itself!

An undergraduate student in my lab is looking for 60 participants for their honors project!

Are you conversational in American Sign Language? Do you like watching movies and TV shows with ASL in them? Would you like to help increase the quality of ASL representation onscreen?

Another new paper out from the lab: Intelligibility as a measure of speech perception: Current approaches, challenges, and recommendations asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/10… in @ASA_JASA with @SusannahVLevi and @kj_vanengen

This is precisely why, for each study we have about helping people learn languages, the lab has a study on helping people be better perceives. Communication requires multiple parties and intelligibilty/comprehensibility/accentedness can't be attributed just to a talker.

We have a new paper out in @ASA_JASA with @bchandra_pit and @CaseyRoark in a special issue about ideas to reconsider in speech perception. We ask whether people learning new languages are really learning speech sound categories, as is commonly assumed.
