What will be an ideal response?
One approach to speech perception suggests that when we perceive speech, we use the same processes as when we perceive other sounds like the crowing of a rooster. These kinds of theories emphasize either template-matching or feature-detection processes. They suggest that there are different stages of neural processing: In one stage, speech sounds are analyzed into their components. In another stage, these components are analyzed for patterns and matched to a prototype or template. However, feature detection or template-matching is not enough; decision-making processes are required as well. This is because the speech we perceive may differ from the speech sounds that actually reach our ears: Cognitive and contextual factors influence our perception of the sensed signal.
