Abstract
This section presents an approach for modeling speech processing and speech learning. Parts of this simulation model are implemented in the STAA approach, with other parts already in the NEF. The model described here comprises cognitive and sensory-motor components of speech production and perception. Additionally, we simulate the emergence of the mental lexicon and the mental syllabary using babbling and imitation training.
