“…For present purposes, we use the speech waveform as an operationalization of speech movements. Although it is not an anatomically specific measurement of individual speech articulators, the speech waveform carries the imprint of fine kinetic and kinematic markers of speech articulators [15], subtle enough to aid in distinguishing phonation type [16], misarticulated stops from cleft lip or palate [17] and dysarthrias [18].…”

Speech perception and memory for speech require active engagement. Gestural theories have emphasized mainly the effect of speaker's movements on speech perception. They fail to address the effects of listener movement, focusing on communication as a boundary condition constraining movement among interlocutors. The present work attempts to break new ground by using multifractal geometry of physical movement as a common currency for supporting both sides of the speaker–listener dyads. Participants self-paced their listening to a narrative, after which they completed a test of memory querying their narrative comprehension and their ability to recognize words from the story. The multifractal evidence of nonlinear interactions across timescales predicted the fluency of speech perception. Self-pacing movements that enabled listeners to control the presentation of speech sounds constituted a rich exploratory process. The multifractal nonlinearity of this exploration supported several aspects of memory for the perceived spoken language. These findings extend the role of multifractal geometry in the speaker's movements to the narrative case of speech perception. In addition to posing novel basic research questions, these findings make a compelling case for calibrating multifractal structure in text-to-speech synthesizers for better perception and memory of speech.

Management of speech and hearing issues in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) has been challenging, considering the population size and availability of resources. There is a need to investigate the depth of these challenges and explore the efficacy of strategies to overcome them. This review aimed to delineate the speech and hearing issues in individuals with cleft lip and palate and how they have been managed in the context of LMICs. Keywords were developed based on the objectives of the study to search for literature published during the period 2010 to 2023. Articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and ProQuest databases were retrieved using appropriate keyword searches. The titles and abstracts were screened to delete the unsuitable articles. Relevant gray literature and hand-searched articles published were also included. The findings are summarized under the following heads in the context of LMICs: incidence and severity of speech and hearing issues, challenges, and barriers in providing speech and hearing services, methods of developing manpower and training, methods of assessing speech and hearing outcomes, service delivery models employed, and the recent advances relating to management of speech and hearing. A wide range of topics revolving around managing speech and hearing issues in individuals with cleft lip and palate has been researched in the context of LMICs. Scattered and fragmented solutions have been provided to overcome the varied challenges in LMICs. The gaps in the literature and the future directions for research have been identified.

Speech perception and memory for speech require active engagement. Gestural theories have emphasized mainly the effect of movements of the speaker on speech perception. They fail to address the effects of listener movement, focusing on communication as a boundary condition constraining movement among interlocutors. The present work attempts to break new ground by using multifractal geometry of physical action as a common currency for supporting both sides of the speaker-listener dyads. Participants self-paced their listening to a narrative, after which they completed a test of memory querying their narrative comprehension and the ability to recognize words from the story. The multifractal evidence of nonlinear interactions across timescales predicted the fluency of speech perception. Self-pacing movements that enabled listeners to control the presentation of speech sounds constituted a rich exploratory process. The multifractal nonlinearity of this exploration supported several aspects of memory for the perceived spoken language. These findings extend the role of multifractal geometry in the actions of the speaker to the narrative case of speech perception. In addition to posing novel basic research questions, these findings make a compelling case for imbuing multifractal structure in text-to-speech synthesizers for better perception and memory of speech.
