The long-term goal of my research is to understand the connections between (1) communicative demands, (2) communicative demand responses, and (3) outcomes such as perceived effort and fatigue: in other words, the mountains that speakers must climb when they communicate, the routes they take to reach the summit, and the consequences of those routes on full communicative participation. My work engages primarily with perceptual psychology and the physiology of voice and speech production, exercise, and neuromuscular function to prepare speakers to climb their personal communicative mountains.
