1 SPEECH PERCEPTION (2008)

Richard Wright, Stefan Frisch, David B. Pisoni, R. Wright, S. F Risch, D. B. Pisoni

Contribution of Implicit Sequence Learning to Spoken Language Processing: Some Preliminary Findings With Hearing Adults (2007)

Conway, Christopher M., Karpicke, Jennifer, Pisoni, David B.
