Continuous perception and graded categorization: electrophysiological evidence for a linear relationship between the acoustic signal and perceptual encoding of speech.
Speech sounds are highly variable, yet listeners readily extract information from them and transform continuous acoustic signals into meaningful categories during language comprehension. A central question is whether perceptual encoding captures acoustic detail in a one-to-one fashion or whether it is affected by phonological categories. We addressed this question in an event-related potential ...
متن کاملSpeech perception as categorization.
Speech perception (SP) most commonly refers to the perceptual mapping from the highly variable acoustic speech signal to a linguistic representation, whether it be phonemes, diphones, syllables, or words. This is an example of categorization, in that potentially discriminable speech sounds are assigned to functionally equivalent classes. In this tutorial, we present some of the main challenges ...
متن کاملContingent categorization in speech perception.
The speech signal is notoriously variable, with the same phoneme realized differently depending on factors like talker and phonetic context. Variance in the speech signal has led to a proliferation of theories of how listeners recognize speech. A promising approach, supported by computational modeling studies, is contingent categorization, wherein incoming acoustic cues are computed relative to...
متن کاملDomain-Specificity in Shape Categorization and Perception
We examine the influence of domain-specific knowledge on the process of learning and representing simple visual categories. Depending on whether subjects’ construe simple objects as living kinds or machines, they show differential sensitivity to the importance of basic shape features. In particular, subjects who treated the objects as machines placed less importance on coarse shape differences ...
متن کاملCombining Perception and Experience in Spatial Categorization
Two experiments examined how categories derived from experience and those derived from perception affect spatial memory. Four kinds of objects were distributed within a circle and spatially clustered so that all objects of each kind appeared within the same spatial region. These identity-based categories were either aligned with or in opposition to the perceptuallybased quadrant categories that...
