When we talk to babies certain aspects of our face and voice change compared with when we talk to adults. In this project we investigate the nature of the changes mothers make to their face and voice when talking to infants, the emotional or language-based purpose of these changes, and how infants and schoolchildren perceive these changes. Our previous studies show that visual information is used more by English than Japanese language speakers, so these studies are investigated with both these language groups. The results will inform us more about language learning, hearing aid use, and speech recognition by machines.

当我们与婴儿交谈时，我们的脸部和声音的某些方面与我们与成年人交谈时相比发生了变化。在这个项目中，我们调查了母亲在与婴儿交谈时对她们的脸和声音所做的改变的性质，这些改变的情感或基于语言的目的，以及婴儿和学龄儿童如何看待这些改变。我们之前的研究表明，说英语的人比说日语的人更多地使用视觉信息，所以这些研究都是在这两种语言群体中进行的。研究结果将为我们提供更多关于语言学习、助听器使用和机器语音识别的信息。
