Many thanks to you all and heartfelt congratulations to Tzuyi for this most interesting piece of work on sensori-motor representations in speech perception!

Several hypotheses  are  laid  out  in  the  framework  of  a  Bayesian  model  of  speech  perception  that  we  have  developed  to  account  for  how  two  listeners  may  each  infer  the  parameters  that  govern  their partner’s responses.

We manipulated the agent's response pattern along two dimensions, the location of the categorical boundary and the slope of the identification function.

Can inter-individual convergence effects occur in the categorization of speech sounds? To answer that question, we had participants perform a joint phoneme identification task with a partner that, unbeknownst to them, was an artificial agent.

Very happy to announce that our registered report is now published in @glossapsycholx.bsky.social
