lipreading
watching the lip movements to extract speech information
-relying on visual cues from lip movements
speechreading
utilizes visual, auditory, gestural and contextual cues to understand speech
where are phonemic cues gathered from
mouth and lip movements
where are prosodic cues/judgements gathered from
eye areas
what sounds are easier to see
those that are created to the front of the mouth
-/f,v/ is easier whereas /k,g/ are harder since they are further back
visemes
sounds that look identical when produced
homophones
words that look identical on the mouth when produced
coarticulation
visible elements will appear different depending on the surrounding sounds
-impacts lipreading by how surrounding sounds impact the current sound both by visual cues and auditory cues
what are some cognitive skills that may predict lip reading abilities
working memory, visual word decoding, lexical identification speed, phonological processing, verbal interference, onset of HL
lexical neighborhood activation model (NAM) of integration
a model that deals with how our brain integrates information of speech into separate groups based on spoken words and visual representation of words automatically
dense neighborhoods
word groups which contain many words that sound and/or look the same
-processing speed slows down
sparse neighborhoods
word groups which contain few words that sound and/or look the same
-processing speech is faster
what helps shift a dense neighborhood to a sparse neighborhood
audio visual integration
-by using what we saw and what we heard, we are able to integrate that to a smaller subset of potential words based on the context
factors that can enhance audiovisual integration
residual hearing, grammatical structure, word familiarity/context, viewing angle/distance and how well you are feeling
what factors can negatively impact speech reading abilities
mumbles, not looking at you, chewing, accents, smiles too much, no facial expressions, shouts, high pitched voices, talking too fast, wearing dark glasses and complicated sentences
4 primary sources of communication breakdowns
listeners speech recognition skills, speakers delivery of the message, environment and message complexity
three stages of communication repair
detect the breakdown (requiring attention and active listening), choosing a course of action and taking course of action
maladaptive repair strategies
coping behaviors that provide short term benefits with long term consequences
-can look like dominating the conversation, ignoring the CP, bluffing, overreacting to miscommunication and withdrawal from social interactions
facilitative repair strategies
an attempt to identify and avoid communication breakdowns from occurring
-including both nonspecific and specific strategies
nonspecific strategies
not adding specific information in for what you did not understand or what you missed
-can be simply saying ‘what’ or ‘huh’
-leading to simple repetition of phrase
specific strategies
giving specific information regarding what was missed exactly, both conversation and supportive repair strategies
instructional strategies
listener instructs the speaker on a specific way to change the delivery of the message
-explanation, specific direction and positive reinforcement
message tailoring strategies
listener asks close ended questions to limit potential answers and amount of reputation required by the speaker
constructive strategies
actions are taken to change an environment for improved communication
-lighting, visual, angles, distance, reverberation, noise and visual distractions
