Issue: Individual Differences in Speech Perception
Call Deadline: 05-Dec-2025

Speech perception seems to be rather effortless, yet a number of neural and cognitive processes are involved in mapping the acoustics of spoken language to meaning. These processes have been investigated extensively to date, but little is known about how they differ across individuals in clinical and non-clinical populations. Research on variability in speech perception provides important insights into our understanding of normal and impaired language processing and is critical for planning interventions for individuals with speech and hearing disorders.

This Collection welcomes original research articles on studies that investigate individual differences in speech perception.
