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，与成年人交谈时，面部的某些方面和声音变化。在这个项目中，我们调查了母亲在与婴儿交谈时对自己的脸和声音的变化的性质，这些变化的情感或基于语言的目的，以及婴儿和学童如何看待这些变化。我们以前的研究表明，英语使用的视觉信息比日语说话者更多，因此对这两个语言组进行了研究。结果将为我们提供更多有关语言学习，助听器使用和机器识别语音识别的信息。
