Modeling the perception of children's age from speech acoustics
No full textFull text access from Treasures at UT Dallas is restricted to current UTD affiliates.Adult listeners were presented with /hVd/ syllables spoken by boys and girls ranging from 5 to 18 years of age. Half of the listeners were informed of the sex of the speaker; the other half were not. Results indicate that veridical age in children can be predicted accurately based on the acoustic characteristics of the talker's voice and that listener behavior is highly predictable on the basis of speech acoustics. Furthermore, listeners appear to incorporate assumptions about talker sex into their estimates of talker age, even when information about the talker's sex is not explicitly provided for them. © 2018 Acoustical Society of America.National Science Foundation (Grant No. 1124479)School of Behavioral and Brain Science

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Körper und Schrift als Gedächtnisspeicher. Vom kommunikativen zum kulturellen Gedächtnis
No full textJan Assmann bietet eine Neudefinition der von ihm selbst geprägten Begriffe des kommunikativen und des kulturellen Gedächtnisses an. Mit Bezug auf Maurice Halbwachs, Friedrich Nietzsche und Sigmund Freud wird der dichotomische Gedächtnisbegriff zu dem Trichonom kommunikatives Gedächtnis - kollektives Bindungsgedächtnis - kulturelles Bildungsgedächtnis erweitert. Dabei bestreitet Jan Assmann den physischen Charakter des Gedächtnisbegriffs bei Friedrich Nietzsche und Sigmund Freud und bezeichnet dagegen die Bedeutung der Schrift in der Ausbildung des kulturellen Bildungsgedächtnisses als fundamental

Perceiving foreign-accented speech with decreased spectral resolution in single- and multiple-talker conditions
No full textTo determine the effect of reduced spectral resolution on the intelligibility of foreign-accented speech, vocoder-processed sentences from native and Mandarin-accented English talkers were presented to listeners in single- and multiple-talker conditions. Reduced spectral resolution had little effect on native speech but lowered performance for foreign-accented speech, with a further decrease in multiple- talker conditions. Following the initial exposure, foreign-accented speech with reduced spectral resolution was less intelligible than unprocessed speech in both single- and multiple-talker conditions. Intelligibility improved with extended exposure, but only for single- talker conditions. Results indicate a perceptual impairment when perceiving foreign-accented speech with reduced spectral resolution.School of Behavioral and Brain Science
