第二言語の音声単語認知における聴覚性プライミング効果 -肉声と合成音声では学習効果が異なるか- Auditory Word Priming in Second - Language Word Recognition

In recent years, the number of applications of synthesized speech software in the English-language classroom has increased. However, it still remains unclear whether synthesized speech has the same learning effects as real voice in second-language word recognition. This study investigated auditory word priming in Japanese learners of English and the vocal repetition data was used to measure the priming effect. The results revealed that the priming effect showed a different pattern depending on the use of synthesized speech and real voice, suggesting that the effect could be different in terms of perceptual learning.
