Perceptual retuning targets features
Introduction Previous work has shown that listeners systematically “retune” their categorical boundaries when presented with real-word tokens containing an ambiguous segment. There have been multiple previous studies on this lexically-guided retuning (Jesse and McQueen 2011; McQueen et al. 2006; Norris et al. 2003), but most work thus far has assumed that the retuning is at the level of the seg...
متن کاملPositional effects in the lexical retuning of speech perception.
Listeners use lexical knowledge to adjust to speakers' idiosyncratic pronunciations. Dutch listeners learn to interpret an ambiguous sound between /s/ and /f/ as /f/ if they hear it word-finally in Dutch words normally ending in /f/, but as /s/ if they hear it in normally /s/-final words. Here, we examined two positional effects in lexically guided retuning. In Experiment 1, ambiguous sounds du...
متن کاملThe effect of non-nativeness and background noise on lexical retuning
Previous research revealed remarkable flexibility of native and non-native listeners’ perceptual system, i.e., native and non-native phonetic category boundaries can be quickly recalibrated in the face of ambiguous input. The present study investigates the limitations of the flexibility of the non-native perceptual system. In two lexically-guided perceptual learning experiments, Dutch listeners...
متن کاملLexical Chains as Document Features
Document clustering and classification is usually done by representing the documents using a bag of words scheme. This scheme ignores many of the linguistic and semantic features contained in text documents. We propose here an alternative representation for documents using Lexical Chains. We compare the performance of the new representation against the old one on a clustering task. We show that...
متن کاملRetuning the misfiring brain.
T he past 20 years have witnessed enormous advances in our understanding of the structure and function of the cerebral cortex. Paramount among these advances is the realization that the detailed structural and functional organization of the cerebral cortex is maintained dynamically throughout life, shaped continually by experience and acutely by central or peripheral injury (1, 2). For example,...
