Audiovisual Language Learning

Findings related to language learning that are of interest to researchers

The topic of audiovisual speech perception is addressed in Audiovisual Language Learning: How to Crack the Speech Code by Ear and by Eye. The publication presents nine contributions on the perceptual system's reliance on visual speech to process and learn language. This learning is addressed in its various stages of development and in reference to typical and atypical language development. Insights are discussed in the areas of multimodelity, environmental constraints, brain maturation and visuo-attentional components.
