A) incremental processing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anticipatory coarticulation is the phenomenon in which we modify the articulators in the vocal tract in preparation for upcoming sounds, allowing for smoother and more efficient speech production. Incremental processing refers to the continuous processing of speech sounds as they are being heard or produced, rather than as discrete units. Perseveratory coarticulation refers to when the articulators remain in the position of a previously produced sound, affecting the production of subsequent sounds. Self-monitoring refers to the process of monitoring one's own speech production for errors and making adjustments as needed.
