Sensorimotor control of speech production: models and data
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.36505/ExLing-2006/01/0007/000007Abstract
A theoretical, model-based overview of speech production is described in which the goals of phonemic speech movements are in auditory and somatosensory domains and the movements are controlled by a combination of feedback and feedforward mechanisms. Examples of experimental results are presented that provide support for the overview.
