Rapid change in articulatory lip movement induced by preceding auditory feedback during production of bilabial plosives.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There has been plentiful evidence of kinesthetically induced rapid compensation for unanticipated perturbation in speech articulatory movements. However, the role of auditory information in stabilizing articulation has been little studied except for the control of voice fundamental frequency, voice amplitude and vowel formant frequencies. Although the influence of auditory information on the articulatory control process is evident in unintended speech errors caused by delayed auditory feedback, the direct and immediate effect of auditory alteration on the movements of articulators has not been clarified.

Methodology/principal findings

This work examined whether temporal changes in the auditory feedback of bilabial plosives immediately affects the subsequent lip mo
