Goals were to investigate whether gradiency of speech perception was related to listeners' differential sensitivity to acoustic cues and to individual differences in executive function. The experiment included two speech perception tasks (vis...
متن کاملPredictability and adult-child cue weighting differences in speech perception
In this experiment, we tested the hypothesis that adult-child differences in cue weighting are influenced by adult-child differences in knowledge of (a) the relative predictability of wordinitial vs. word-final consonants, and (b) of the relationship between predictability and acoustic salience/distinctiveness. We tested our hypothesis using synthetic speech continua with formant transitions va...
متن کاملIndividual differences in L2 learners' perceptual cue weighting patterns
This study investigated how English learners of Korean weigh multiple acoustic cues, namely VOT and f0, in perceiving the Korean stop laryngeal contrast. This question is of interest because VOT is more central to this contrast in English relative to Korean. Our goal was to examine whether L2 cueweighting strategies were influenced by individual differences in cue-weighting strategies in L1 and...
متن کاملIndividual differences in perception of unfamiliar speech
Substantial individual differences in speech perception emerge under adverse listening conditions, including when perceiving unfamiliar speech. In the present study, individual differences in word recognition for three varieties of unfamiliar speech—Spanish-accented English, Irish-accented English, and dysarthric speech—were investigated. We asked whether the ability to perceive these unfamilia...
