He is best known for the development, with Catherine Browman, of the theory of articulatory phonology, a gesture-based approach to phonological and phonetic structure. The theoretical approach is incorporated in a computational model[4] that generates speech from a gesturally-specified lexicon. Goldstein, Philip Rubin, and Mark Tiede designed a revision of the articulatory synthesis model, known as CASY,[5] the Configurable Articulatory Synthesizer. This three-dimensional model of the vocal tract permits researchers to replicate MRI images of actual speakers and has been used to study the relation between speech production and perception.
