Abstract
Purpose: This review article provides a theoretical overview of the characteristics of perceptual learning, reviews perceptual learning studies that pertain to dysarthric populations, and identifies directions for future research that consider the application of perceptual learning to the management of dysarthria. Method: A critical review of the literature was conducted that summarized and synthesized previously published research in the area of perceptual learning with atypical speech. Literature related to perceptual learning of neurologically degraded speech was emphasized with the aim of identifying key directions for future research with this population. Conclusions: Familiarization with unfamiliar or ambiguous speech signals can facilitate perceptual learning of that same speech signal. There is a small but growing body of evidence that perceptual learning also occurs for listeners familiarized with dysarthric speech. Perceptual learning of the dysarthric signal is both theoretically and clinically significant. In order to establish the efficacy of exploiting perceptual learning paradigms for rehabilitative gain in dysarthria management, research is required to build on existing empirical evidence and develop a theoretical framework for learning to better recognize neurologically degraded speech.

Speech-language pathology student participation in verbal reflective practice groups: perceptions of development, value and group condition differences.
Tillard G; Cook KJ; Gerhard D; Keast L; McAuliffe M (2018)In summary, there is widespread support for the use of group discussion in reflective practice (Caty et al., 2015). The interaction with peers allows for the exchange and comparison of beliefs and behaviours, perspectives ... -
Consideration of the listener in the assessment and treatment of dysarthria
McAuliffe, M.J.; Borrie, S.A.; Good, P.V.; Hughes, L. (University of Canterbury. Communication Disorders, 2010)Traditionally, speech production deficits have been the focus of clinical practice and research in dysarthria. However, recent research has begun to examine the role of the listener in communication interaction. This article ... -
Listening to disordered speech results in early modulations of auditory event-related potentials
Theys C; McAuliffe MJ (Swets & Zeitlinger, 2017)In the last decade, research on motor speech disorders has increasingly taken into account the bidirectionality between speaker and listener. Listening to disordered speech (e.g., dysarthria) may result in substantial ...
