Articulatory effort modulates speech adaptation to auditory perturbations

Speech sensorimotor adaptation is typically partial, varies across individuals, and often saturates under large auditory perturbations. While sensory and phonological factors have been proposed to explain this variability, the role of motor effort and its influence on the compensatory response remain largely unexplored. Our study examined whether the physical effort involved in producing compensatory gestures influences both the overall magnitude of adaptation and the perturbation level at which
