Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition
  • Social psychology

His primary areas of study are Audiology, Speech perception, Developmental psychology, Language development and Phonetics. His Audiology study combines topics in areas such as Speech recognition, Categorical perception, First language, Tone deafness and Auditory perception. He has included themes like Visual perception, Auditory visual and Cognition, Psycholinguistics in his Speech perception study.

The various areas that Denis K Burnham examines in his Developmental psychology study include Language disorder, Praise and Anxiety. His Language development research focuses on Language acquisition and how it relates to Nonverbal communication, Socialization, Tonal language, Australian English and Utterance. His research integrates issues of Intonation, Register, Affect and Speech Acoustics in his study of Phonetics.

His most cited work include:

  • What's New, Pussycat? On Talking to Babies and Animals (298 citations)
  • Chinese and English Infants' Tone Perception: Evidence for Perceptual Reorganization (205 citations)
  • Auditory–visual speech integration by prelinguistic infants: Perception of an emergent consonant in the McGurk effect (168 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Denis K Burnham mainly investigates Audiology, Speech perception, Speech recognition, Auditory visual and Developmental psychology. His work focuses on many connections between Audiology and other disciplines, such as Mandarin Chinese, that overlap with his field of interest in Tone. Denis K Burnham combines subjects such as Visual perception, Language development and Australian English with his study of Speech perception.

Denis K Burnham focuses mostly in the field of Language development, narrowing it down to matters related to Vocabulary and, in some cases, Cognitive psychology. The Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Phonological awareness and Anxiety. His Motor theory of speech perception study incorporates themes from Cued speech and Speech production.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Audiology (31.34%)
  • Speech perception (28.86%)
  • Speech recognition (22.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Audiology (31.34%)
  • Speech perception (28.86%)
  • Mandarin Chinese (9.95%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Denis K Burnham mostly deals with Audiology, Speech perception, Mandarin Chinese, Language development and Dyslexia. His Audiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Electroencephalography, Language acquisition, Formant, Vowel and Tracking. In his research on the topic of Tracking, First language is strongly related with Auditory visual.

The concepts of his Speech perception study are interwoven with issues in Test, Training, Neuroscience of multilingualism, Mode and Tone. His research integrates issues of Auditory perception, Vocabulary, Phonetics and Speech processing in his study of Language development. His research in Vocabulary intersects with topics in Longitudinal study, Cognitive psychology, Anxiety, Developmental psychology and Depression.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Atypical cortical entrainment to speech in the right hemisphere underpins phonemic deficits in dyslexia. (44 citations)
  • Mothers speak differently to infants at-risk for dyslexia. (40 citations)
  • The origins of babytalk: smiling, teaching or social convergence? (23 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition
  • Statistics

Denis K Burnham focuses on Audiology, Language development, Language acquisition, Speech perception and Mandarin Chinese. His studies deal with areas such as Longitudinal study and Vocabulary development as well as Audiology. Denis K Burnham focuses mostly in the field of Language acquisition, narrowing it down to topics relating to Vowel and, in certain cases, Convergence, Articulation, Vocal tract and Tongue.

His Speech perception research includes elements of Spelling, Dyslexia, Speech processing and Electroencephalography. He has researched Dyslexia in several fields, including Developmental psychology and Phonological awareness. His Mandarin Chinese research includes themes of Word learning, Contrast, Pitch perception and Tone.
