A schematic of speech processing
Note: Bottom-up processing is illustrated by the white arrows. Acoustic signal proceeds serially through each of the levels of processing in a forward hierarchical manner. Top-down processing is illustrated by the blue colour scheme where each level of speech processing has its own function (distinct colour) but remains directly linked and modulated (bidirectionally) by executive/cognitive processes (all shades of blue).
