Tessa BentAssistant Professor Teaching Responsibilities/InterestsI teach primarily at the undergraduate level. I currently teach two undergraduate courses in the department: Phonetics for Speech and Hearing Science and Survey of Children's Language Development. I also teach a topics course called Born to be a Genius. In the past I have taught Survey of Communication Disorders. Research InterestsMy work seeks to quantify the consequences of the phonetic variability in speech. I am interested in how listeners adapt to the variability present in the speech signal, how this learning can best be facilitated, and how children develop the ability to accurately and effortlessly perceive highly variable speech signals, including foreign-accented speech.
