Research Interests
(from UCR Psychology graduate brochure)

My research concerns speech, face, and auditory perception as taken from an Ecological perspective. Ecological Psychology strives to understand how humans perceive and act in the natural environment. Emphasis is placed on establishing a thorough description of the information available to our senses rather than on the mental processes usually thought to embellish impoverished input.


I am interested in speech perception as a multi-sensory function. While speech is usually considered something to hear, we can also perceive speech by watching someone speak (lipreading) or even touching someone's face. Regardless of our level of hearing, we all lipread to some degree and research shows that integrating audiovisual speech information occurs automatically and unconsciously. Our own research has shown that even pre-linguistic infants integrate audiovisual speech.


Our research also suggests that the brain treats auditory and visual speech information similarly. For example, the most useful portions of both auditory and visual speech signals are those that are changing and dynamic. This fact has been known of auditory speech for some time, and our laboratory has now shown that this is also true of visual speech. For these purposes, we have developed a 'point-light' image technique in which all facial features are removed except for small reflective dots placed on the articulators. We have found that facial displays reduced to these moving dots can be lipread and can be integrated with auditory speech. Examples of these and other lab stimuli can be seen at http://www.psych.ucr.edu/avspeech/lab.

I am also interested in face recognition and its relation to visual speech perception. Historically, visual speech and face recognition have been considered functionally and neuropsychologically separate. However, we have found that familiarity with a speaker's face can facilitate lipreading and that image manipulations thought to only affect face recognition also influence visual speech perception. This link between visual speech and face functions might be based on their use of common information. In fact, we have found that the isolated visual speech information in our point-light displays can be used for recognizing faces. Interestingly, these relations between visual speech and face perception are similar to those existent for auditory speech and voice recognition. Thus, this connection between speech and speaker information constitutes another way in which the brain treats auditory and visual speech similarly.

Regarding general auditory perception, I am interested in how humans use sound to help guide their everyday behaviors. We have found that listeners can anticipate the arrival of a looming sound source based on hearing just a short portion of the approach. We have also examined how humans use reflected sound to 'echolocate' their environment (similar to the skill of bats). In general, our research has helped reveal the exquisite sensitivity of the human auditory system to naturally occurring acoustic information.
