Papers
Learning Across Senses: Cross-Modal Effects in Multisensory Statistical Learning
Aaron D. Mitchel,Daniel J. Weiss +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the extent to which statistical learning across modalities is independent by simultaneously presenting learners with auditory and visual streams by systematically varied the amount of audiovisual correspondence across 3 experiments.
Sweet Silent Thought Alliteration and Resonance in Poetry Comprehension
TL;DR: The authors found that alliterative cues reactivated readers' memories for previous information when it was phonologically similar to the cue, when participants read aloud and when they read silently, and with poetry and prose.

Visual speech segmentation: using facial cues to locate word boundaries in continuous speech.
Aaron D. Mitchel,Daniel J. Weiss +1 more
TL;DR: An artificial speech stream was created that contained minimal segmentation cues and paired it with two synchronous facial displays in which visual prosody was either informative or uninformative for identifying word boundaries, suggesting that facial cues can help learners solve the early challenges of language acquisition.

Trajectories emerging from discrete versus continuous processing models in phonological competitor tasks: a commentary on Spivey, Grosjean, and Knoblich (2005).
Robrecht P. R. D. van der Wel,Jeffrey R. Eder,Aaron D. Mitchel,Matthew M. Walsh,David A. Rosenbaum +4 more
TL;DR: The results of Spivey et al.'s experiment can be ascribed to discrete processing of speech, provided one appeals to an already supported model of motor control that asserts that switching movements from 1 target to another relies on superposition of the 2nd movement onto the 1st.

Differential Gaze Patterns on Eyes and Mouth During Audiovisual Speech Segmentation
Laina G. Lusk,Aaron D. Mitchel +1 more
TL;DR: Eye-gaze patterns changed across familiarization as subjects learned the word boundaries, showing decreased attention to the mouth in later blocks while attention on other facial features remained consistent, highlighting the importance of the visual component of speech processing and suggesting that the mouth may play a critical role in visual speech segmentation.
