'I think it's an absolutely top-notch proposal and we should definitely say yes. I know Gareth well, and he's a world expert and big name in the area, so we're lucky to have him.' - Trevor Harley, Series Editor'The list of proposed contributors (the majority of whom have agreed to contribute) is outstanding. I expect it would be a well-used library book.’ - Jeffrey Bowers, Professor of Psychology, University of Bristol, UK‘I think that the chapters in the proposed volume are very likely to succeed in presenting a new synthesis of recent behavioural and cognitive neuroscience research on speech perception and spoken word recognition. […] The current proposal is interesting, exciting and original.’ - Matt Davis, Programme Leader – Hearing, Speech and Language, University of Cambridge, UK
