prostheses, speech perception across the life span, speech perception in neuropathological disorders, as well as the study of the perception of linguistic, paralinguistic, and indexical attributes of speech. Growth in these diverse areas has spurred theoretical developments reflecting a variety of perspectives for explaining and modeling speech perception in its various manifestations. The Handbook of Speech Perception was conceived to provide a timely forum for the research community by presenting a collection of technical and theoretical accomplishments and challenges...Download here.
