Perceiving Non-Native Speech
In a series of experiments using monosyllabic words produced by a native and a non-native speaker of English, native English speakers monitored the wordinitial consonants of the words to decide which of two consonants was present on each trial. In some of the experiments, a secondary task of a linguistic nature, deciding whether the target-bearing word was a noun or verb, was also required. When the words were presented in silence, the native and…

A Constraint on the Discrimination of Speech by Young Infants
Three- and four-month-old infants were tested on their ability to discriminate the third-formant transitions sufficient to signal the syllable-medial stops [t] and [k]. The stimulus patterns consisted of an initial fricative [s], 20 or 100 msec of silence, and the vowel [a], whose initial formant transitions were appropriate for [t] or [k]. Discrimination only occurred when the duration of silence was 100 msec. This constraint on discrimination i…
Studies on the selective tuning of feature detectors for speech
Selective adaptation of linguistic feature detectors
Speech Perception in Infants
Discrimination of synthetic speech sounds was studied in 1- and 4-month-old infants. The speech sounds varied along an acoustic dimension previously shown to cue phonemic distinctions among the voiced and voiceless stop consonants in adults. Discriminability was measured by an increase in conditioned response rate to a second speech sound after habituation to the first speech sound. Recovery from habituation was greater for a given acoustic diffe…

The Relation between Identification and Discrimination along Speech and Non-Speech Continua
In order to investigate the perception of simple unidimensional non-speech stimuli and synthetic speech stimuli in a manner permitting direct comparisons, identification and discrimination functions were obtained by the method of ABX for three series of duration stimuli, one series of reflectance stimuli, and a series of speech sounds, the stop consonants /b, d, g/. These results were also compared with those from earlier studies investigating sy…
The Identification and Discrimination of Synthetic Vowels
A series of thirteen two-formant vowels was synthesized and used as the basis of labelling and discrimination tests with a group of English-speaking listeners. The sounds varied only in F1/F2 plot and the resulting vowel qualities were such that listeners found no difficulty in assigning each sound to one of three phonemic categories, those of the vowels in bid, bed and bad. The results of the tests were compared with those previously obtained in…
An Effect of Learning on Speech Perception
Discrimination of an acoustic variable (various durations of silence) was measured when, as part of a synthetic speech pattern, that variable cued a phonemic distinction and when the same variable appeared in a non-speech context. in the speech case the durations of silence separated the two syllables of a synthesized word, causing it to be heard as rabid when the intersyllabic silence was of short duration and as rapid when it was long. with aco…
