About
Director: Dr. Stephen Winters
Dr. Stephen Winters’ work focuses on the perception of speech, primarily from an exemplar theory-based point of view. Recently, he has worked with students on the perception of the “source” features of speech, including intonation, tone and voice quality. He has also collaborated with students on the development of exemplar-based computational models of lexical tone and intonation perception.
Students: Syed Sazzadul Alam (PhD Student), Brooklyn Sheppard (PhD Student), Charys Russell (MA Student)
