MICAH HIRSCH
About Me
My name is Micah Hirsch and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Communication Science and Disorders at Florida State University. My research interests are in motor speech disorders, speech science, and the metascience of speech science. My work currently focuses on the listener factors that impact perception of disordered speech. I am also interested in improving the reliability and validity of acoustic and perceptual measures and using advanced statistical methods to solve complex problems in speech science research.
My current publications and presentations are listed below. I am a big proponent of open science. Therefore, whenever possible, I include links to the published articles, archived preprint or postprint manuscript versions, datasets, analysis code, and other supplementary materials.
