DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2016.12.002
Abstract: Speakers dynamically adjust their speech rate throughout conversations. These adjustments have been linked to cognitive and communicative limitations: for example, speakers speak words that are contextually unexpected (and thus add more information) with slower speech… read more here.

DOI: 10.1044/2022_ajslp-21-00354
Abstract: PURPOSE This study aimed to describe communication-related parameters (i.e., intelligibility, speech rate, and communication efficiency) and their developmental courses in children with neurological conditions against the background of typical development. In addition, interrelations between the… read more here.

How visual cues to speech rate influence speech perception
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology"
DOI: 10.1177/1747021820914564
Abstract: Spoken words are highly variable and therefore listeners interpret speech sounds relative to the surrounding acoustic context, such as the speech rate of a preceding sentence. For instance, a vowel midway between short /ɑ/ and… read more here.

Talk like me: Exploring the feedback speech rate regulation strategy of the voice user interface for elderly people
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1119355
Abstract: Voice user interface (VUI) is widely used in developing intelligent products due to its low learning cost. However, most of such products do not consider the cognitive and language ability of elderly people, which leads… read more here.
