Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research is aiming for investigating human speech production and acquisition mechanism, For this purpose, we examined speech dynamic features in speech production and perception based on the modified auditory feedback paradigm. We constructed experimental system which modifies the dynamical acoustic feature of the utterance speech in real time. By using the system, we examined the compensatory response of the speech articulation to the modified auditory feedback and its adaptation characteristics of the auditory-motor control of speech production.
