Biography
My doctoral research aims to determine the impact of acoustically degraded speech on spoken language processing in school-aged children, under the supervision of Dominique Morsomme and Angélique Remacle (Cognitive Psychopathology pole). Specifically, I investigate the effects of background noise and a speaker¿s impaired voice quality on children¿s speech perception and listening comprehension.
- From a behavioral perspective, I examine children¿s performance and response times in listening tasks presented under varying degrees of acoustic interference. I set out to better understand how noise and poor voice quality affect different processing levels (e.g. auditory-perceptual level vs. syntactic level).
- From an acoustic perspective, I run noise- and speech-signal analyses and relate these to perceptual voice assessments. I have also started to take measures of classroom acoustics in primary schools. The aim is to identify factors that may influence children¿s ability to process degraded speech.
