Description for The Subject of Speech Perception. An Analysis of the Philosophical Foundations of the Information-processing Approach.
Hardback. The author provides a critique of the cognitivist philosophy which underpins information-processing models of human speech perception, and a proposal of an alternative approach to speech perception research which focuses on the nature of the perceiver, rather than of the acoustic signal. Num Pages: 264 pages, biography. BIC Classification: CFA; CFH; JMR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 27. Weight in Grams: 490.
This book analyses and challenges the metatheoretical framework which supports information-processing models of human speech perception. The first part consists of a review of speech perception research in the information-processing paradigm; an overview of the cognitivist philosophy from which this approach takes its justification; and an introduction to some relevant themes of phenomenological philosophy. The second half uses the phenomenological insights discussed to demonstrate some inadequacies of cognitivism; to show how these inadequacies underlie problems with the information-processing theory; and suggests an alternative framework with significant change of focus.
