| summary | Many recent studies have approached the topic of audiovisual speech perception by analyzing the way infants and adults explore a speaker?s face and use of the audiovisual speech cues located at the eyes and mouth of a talker (Ayneto, & Sebastian?Galles, 2017; Barenholtz, Mavica, & Lewkowicz, 2016; Hillairet de Boisferon, Hansen-Tift, Minar, & Lewkowicz, 2016; Lewkowicz & Hansen-Tift, 2012; Pons, Bosch, & Lewkowicz, 2015; Ter Schure, Junge, & Boersma, 2016). In this talk I will present results from studies from our lab with infants, children and adults, showing different factors that seem to modulate attention to the eyes and mouth of a talking face. In infancy, factors such as 1) type of bilingualism, 2) language familiarity, or 3) communication and social abilities, seem to play a key role regarding the use of the audiovisual information located at the mouth. On the other hand, in children and adults, factors such as 1) language proficiency, 2) language similarity or 3) language dominance seem to be responsible for the relative attention to the mouth of a talker. Finally, I will also discuss how this redundant audiovisual information is used in children with specific language impairment (SLI) as compared to typically developing (TD) children. |
