Overview

Silke Paulmann is affiliated with the University of Essex in the United Kingdom and focuses their research primarily in the fields of Psychology and Neuroscience. Their scholarly work extends notably into several subfields, including Cognitive Neuroscience, Social Psychology, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, and Sociology and Political Science.

Their research contributes to an array of topics, such as Social and Intergroup Psychology, Neurobiology of Language and Bilingualism, Communication in Education and Healthcare, Voice and Speech Disorders, Stuttering Research and Treatment, Phonetics and Phonology Research, and Speech Recognition and Synthesis.

Paulmann has published research in various peer-reviewed journals. Notable publication venues where they have contributed multiple works include the British Journal of Educational Psychology, PLoS ONE, Frontiers in Psychology, and Emotion. Other publications have appeared in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

Some of their recent papers include:

  • "Teachers' motivational prosody: A pre-registered experimental test of children's reactions to tone of voice used by teachers," 2022, British Journal of Educational Psychology
  • "Motivating tones to enhance education: The effects of vocal awareness on teachers' voices," 2025, British Journal of Educational Psychology

Frequent collaborators in Paulmann's research include Netta Weinstein, Constantina Maltezou-Papastylianou, Reinhold Scherer, Maren Schmidt-Kassow, and Maarten Vansteenkiste. These collaborations reflect diverse interdisciplinary approaches within their research themes.

Other notable papers connected with related research topics but authored by collaborators or cited alongside Paulmann's areas of interest include:

  • "Don't you say it that way! Experimental evidence that controlling voices elicit defiance," 2020, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology
  • "Different stages of emotional prosody processing in healthy ageing-evidence from behavioural responses, ERPs, tDCS, and tRNS," 2022, PLoS ONE
  • "Toward assessment of human voice biomarkers of brain lesions through explainable deep learning," 2023, Biomedical Signal Processing and Control

The research topics and publication record suggest a focus on voice and prosody as they relate to social interactions, education, and neurological processes, often integrating behavioral and neurophysiological investigative methodologies.
