The team's main interests are speech production and perception and their relationship.
The speech team has a particular interest in:
- screening for speech difficulties
- stuttering as a developmental speech disorder and its relationship to fluent development of speech and language
- speech processing of Mandarin tones.
A variety of methodologies are used to study these processes including
- analyses of naturally-produced spontaneous speech
- surveys
- experimental studies
- neuroimaging studies
- modelling studies.
