Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition primarily associated with its motor consequences. Although much of the focus within the speech domain has focused on PD's consequences for production, people with PD have been shown to differ in the perception of emotional prosody, loudness, and speech rate from age-matched controls. The current study targeted the effect of PD on perceptual phonetic plasticity, defined as the ability to learn and adjust to novel phonetic input, both in second language and native language contexts. People with PD were compared to age-matched controls (and, for three of the studies, a younger control population) in tasks of explicit non-native speech learning and adaptation to variation in native speech (compressed rate, accent, and the use of timing information within a sentence to parse ambiguities). The participants with PD showed significantly worse performance on the task of compressed rate and used the duration of an ambiguous fricative to segment speech to a lesser degree than age-matched controls, indicating impaired speech perceptual abilities. Exploratory comparisons also showed people with PD who were on medication performed significantly worse than their peers off medication on those two tasks and the task of explicit non-native learning.
