What is it about?

Why is it important?
This is the first study to provide a systematic and comprehensive investigation on the effects of modality (AF, AFG, and AO), speech rate (fast, slow, and normal), congruency (congruent and incongruent), and tone catego- ries (T1, T2, T3, and T4) on Mandarin tone perception in quiet and noise for young native Chinese adults by virtue of GLMMs using R for data analysis.
Perspectives
This study provided compelling evidence showing that integrated audiovisual information plays a vital role not only in improving lexical tone per- ception in noise but also in modulating the effects of speech rate on Mandarin tone perception in quiet for native listeners. Our findings, supporting the theory of embodied cognition, are implicational for speech and hearing rehabilitation among both young and old clinical populations.
