Recognition memory for sentences of varying length

Effects of Speech Clarity on Recognition Memory for Spoken Sentences

Extensive research shows that inter-talker variability (i.e., changing the talker) affects recognition memory for speech signals. However, relatively little is known about the consequences of intra-talker variability (i.e. changes in speaking style within a talker) on the encoding of speech signals in memory. It is well established that speakers can modulate the characteristics of their own spe...

Recognition memory in noise for speech of varying intelligibility.

This study investigated the extent to which noise impacts normal-hearing young adults' speech processing of sentences that vary in intelligibility. Intelligibility and recognition memory in noise were examined for conversational and clear speech sentences recorded in quiet (quiet speech, QS) and in response to the environmental noise (noise-adapted speech, NAS). Results showed that (1) increase...

Brain-wave recognition of sentences.

Electrical and magnetic brain waves of two subjects were recorded for the purpose of recognizing which one of 12 sentences or seven words auditorily presented was processed. The analysis consisted of averaging over trials to create prototypes and test samples, to each of which a Fourier transform was applied, followed by filtering and an inverse transformation to the time domain. The filters us...

Constructive memory for bizarre and sensible sentences

Speech Recognition System For Spoken Japanese Sentences

A speech recognition system for continuously spoken Japanese simple sentences is described. The acoustic analyser based on a psychological assumption for phoneme identification can represent the speech sound by a phoneme string in an expanded sense which contains acoustic features such as buzz and silence as well as ordinary phonemes. Each item of the word dictionary is written in Roman letters...
