Seidenberg}, year={2003}, title={Modeling the role of native language knowledge in perceiving nonnative speech contrasts.}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 15th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences}, pages={2221-2224}, abstract={A novel connectionist model of speech perseption is presented which accounts for data regarding the perception of foreign speech sounds by native speakers of English. THe model was trained on a large corpus of English CV syllables, and then tested on isiZulu stimuli. Results were similar to those obtained in a study with human participants by Best et al. Importantly, the match between the model's performance and th ehuman data did not depend on the inclusion of articulatory information in the model.}, language={English}, URL={http://lcnl.wisc.edu/publications/archive/68.pdf}, }
