Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this research is to develop protocols that selectively target and improve speech-motor learning processes. Participants will be asked to name pictures, read words/sentences, and listen to sounds while their speech signals will be collected during the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in speech output in response to previously experienced auditory errors
Time Frame: within each session of the study that may last up to 2 hours
In each trial, participants will experience an auditory error while they produce speech (e.g., they may say "head" but hear "had"). Participants' speech will be measured in each trial. The investigators will measure how the participants' speech changes due to auditory errors experienced in previous trials.
Change In Speech Output Immidiately After Hearing Auditory Errors
Time Frame: within each session of the study that may last up to 2 hours
In each trial, participants will experience an auditory error while they produce speech (e.g., they may say "head" but hear "had"). The investigators will measure how the participants' speech changes due to auditory errors that they experience in the current trial.
