This paper reviews some of the major evidence and arguments currently available to support the view that human speech perception may require the use of specialized neural mechanisms for perceptual analysis. Experiments using synthetically produced speech signals with adults are briefly summarized and extensions of these results to infants and ther organisms are reviewed with an emphasis towards detailing those aspects of speech perception that may require some need for specialized species-specific processors. Finally, some comments on the role of early experience in perceptual development are provided as an attempt to identify promising areas of new research in speech perception.
本文回顾了目前一些主要的证据和论据，以支持人类语音感知可能需要使用专门的神经机制进行感知分析这一观点。简要总结了针对成年人使用合成语音信号进行的实验，并回顾了这些结果在婴儿和其他生物上的扩展，重点详细阐述了语音感知中可能需要特定物种专用处理器的那些方面。最后，对早期经验在感知发展中的作用提供了一些评论，试图确定语音感知新研究中前景广阔的领域。
