Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Patricia K. Kuhl spends much of her time researching Speech perception, Perception, Language development, Phonetics and Audiology. Her Speech perception study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stimulus, Speech recognition, Speech production, Vowel and Perceptual narrowing. Her study in Perception is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Categorization, Communication and Cognition.

Her studies in Language development integrate themes in fields like Social relation, Speech discrimination, Language acquisition and Comprehension approach. Her Phonetics research integrates issues from Percept and First language. Her research in Audiology intersects with topics in Chinchilla, Contrast and Active listening.

Her most cited work include:

  • Linguistic experience alters phonetic perception in infants by 6 months of age (1526 citations)
  • Early language acquisition: cracking the speech code (1341 citations)
  • BIRDSONG AND HUMAN SPEECH: Common Themes and Mechanisms (1239 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Audiology, Speech perception, Perception, Linguistics and Cognitive psychology. Her Audiology research includes elements of Contrast, Stimulus, Magnetoencephalography and Formant, Vowel. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Language Experience Approach and Language development.

Patricia K. Kuhl interconnects Social relation and Language acquisition in the investigation of issues within Language development. Patricia K. Kuhl has included themes like Communication, Speech recognition, First language, Phonetics and American English in her Perception study. Patricia K. Kuhl combines subjects such as Speech discrimination, Speech processing and Active listening with her study of Linguistics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Audiology (31.53%)
  • Speech perception (31.53%)
  • Perception (27.93%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Language acquisition (12.01%)
  • Audiology (31.53%)
  • Cognitive psychology (17.72%)

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

Patricia K. Kuhl mostly deals with Language acquisition, Audiology, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology and Perception. Her Language acquisition study incorporates themes from Social relation, Babbling, Affect, Speech discrimination and On Language. Her work carried out in the field of Audiology brings together such families of science as Stimulus, Rhythm, Dyslexia and First language.

Her research in Cognitive psychology intersects with topics in Social learning, Cognition, Magnetoencephalography, Relation and Mandarin Chinese. The Perception study combines topics in areas such as Linguistics and Pitch shift. Patricia K. Kuhl interconnects Pitch perception, Auditory brainstem response, Functional connectivity and Vowel in the investigation of issues within Speech perception.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Speech discrimination in 11‐month‐old bilingual and monolingual infants: a magnetoencephalography study (82 citations)
  • The Impact of Early Social Interactions on Later Language Development in Spanish-English Bilingual Infants. (66 citations)
  • Two are better than one: Infant language learning from video improves in the presence of peers. (41 citations)

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

  • Linguistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Language acquisition, Social relation, Language development, Cognitive psychology and Developmental psychology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Language Experience Approach, Speech discrimination and Phonetics. Her work on Neuroscience of multilingualism expands to the thematically related Language development.

Her study on Infant learning is often connected to Social partners as part of broader study in Cognitive psychology. Her work deals with themes such as Coaching, Randomized controlled trial and Vocabulary development, which intersect with Developmental psychology. Her Voice-onset time, Phonetic environment, Affect and Context study in the realm of Linguistics connects with subjects such as Latency.
