o These processes relate to different but separate tasks
o But have same subject matter i.e. language

• Speech perception
o Models
o Theorists
o Experimental evidence
• Speech production
o Same as above
• Themes
o Activation
o Interaction
o Seriality
o Feedback
• Similarities and differences of above
• Concluding remarks
o Similarities in architecture
o Similarities in experimental paradigms
o Similarities in the development of the role of connectionist models
o Clear differences in amount of research carried out
For example word recognition much better understood than almost all other facets of speech processing, esp. language production
o Role of interaction between processing levels is given much more prominence in perception models than in production models.
