Biography
Boston University
Melanie Matthies’ research concerns the role that hearing plays in adult speech motor control by using a variety of listener groups, such as cochlear implant recipients, hearing aid users, persons who are pre-lingually deafened, elderly subjects, and normal-hearing young adults. She also studies the motor control of speech with respect to its variability, efficiency, and communicative effectiveness to test a theoretical framework that provides a synthesis of biomechanical constraints with economy of effort and perceptual strategies. Other interests include the effects of Parkinson’s disease on speech production/intelligibility and treatment efficacy.
