Objective measures of speech recognition sensitivity, d' [18], were calculated for each participant (see Figure 1a-b).
This shows that AV speech timing sensitivity can be enhanced by the presence of additional, temporally proximate, sensory events.
Their Speech Recognition Sensitivity (SRS) model is in essence a model of speech transmission, just as the STI and the sEPSM are, because it quantifies speech degradation.
For normally raised adult zebra finches, which lack experience with human speech, the sensitivity matches the region with the most prominent frequency range of their natural songs.
If the troops don't come home and the drones don't stop killing civilians, fine speeches and sensitivity trainings will just seem like hypocrisy, our words and our images will remain far apart, and the chasm between the West and Islam will endure, nowhere more so than in the imaginations of those twin extremists, the Taliban and the Islamophobes.
Hearing Check was developed by the UK Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), and calls a landline number to receive a free hearing check [ 86]. uHear includes three assessment tests: hearing sensitivity, speech in noise, and a questionnaire about common listening situations [ 41].
Thus, as with auditory speech perception, visual sensitivity to phonologically irrelevant contrasts may be attenuated, and new visual categories may need to be established by L2 learners (see also Pons, Lewkowicz, Soto-Faraco, & Sebastián-Gallées 2009).
The case pitted free speech against religious sensitivities at a time of rising public concern about Islam in the wake of the September 11 attacks and growing sensitivity to radical Islam in France, home to Europe's largest Muslim community.
Even before the controversy about Mr. Rushdie's visit exploded in recent weeks, India was struggling with the balance between free speech and the sensitivities of its many religious and ethnic minorities.
