{"pk":27873,"title":"Dynamic speech adaption to unreliable cues during intentional processing","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Human behavior is often remarkably flexible, showing theability to quickly adapt to the statistical peculiarities of aparticular local context. When it comes to language, previ-ous work has shown that listeners’ anticipatory interpretationsof intonational cues are adapted dynamically when cues areobserved to be stochastically unreliable. This paper reportsnovel empirical data from manual response dynamics (mouse-tracking) on how listeners adapt their predictive interpretationwhen some intonational cues are occasionally unreliable whileothers are consistently reliable. A model of rational belief dy-namics predicts that listeners adapt differently to different un-reliable intonational cues, as a function of their initial eviden-tial strength. These predictions are borne out by our data.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"intonation"},{"word":"Mouse-tracking"},{"word":"Prosody"},{"word":"Rational predictive processing"},{"word":"Speech adaptation"}],"section":"Publication-based-Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/19h4h097","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Timo","middle_name":"B","last_name":"Roettger","name_suffix":"","institution":"Northwestern, University of Cologne","department":""},{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"","last_name":"Franke","name_suffix":"","institution":"Universitat Tubingen","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27873/galley/17511/download/"}]}
