 Speech perception, the focus of this unit, is an enormously complex field that seeks to explore how the hearing system reacts to the features present in a sound wave in order to determine what we perceive and how we perceive it. In the virtual session, we will look at specific acoustic cues in the speech signal and their role in the perceptual process and we will discuss several theories of speech perception. Use the question sheet if you need help. The hyperlinks and the video links are very useful. The mastery worksheet is a simple multiple choice test with questions about speech perception that you should readily be able to answer after the virtual session. And the practical? Well, it contains some questions about perceptual cues associated with particular speech sounds. This might be a bit difficult at first sight, but if you apply your knowledge about perceptual cues, you should manage.
