متن کاملChromatic Perceptual Learning but No Category Effects without Linguistic Input
Perceptual learning involves an improvement in perceptual judgment with practice, which is often specific to stimulus or task factors. Perceptual learning has been shown on a range of visual tasks but very little research has explored chromatic perceptual learning. Here, we use two low level perceptual threshold tasks and a supra-threshold target detection task to assess chromatic perceptual le...
متن کاملAcoustic measures for linguistic features distinguishing the semivowels/wjrl/in American English.
Acoustic properties related to the linguistic features which characterize the semivowels in American English were quantified and analyzed statistically. The features can be divided into those which separate the semivowels from other sounds and those which distinguish among the semivowels. The features of interest are sonorant, syllabic, consonantal, high, back, front, and retroflex. Acoustic co...
متن کاملCross-Linguistic Study of the Production of Turn-Taking Cues in American English and Argentine Spanish
We present the results of a series of machine learning experiments aimed at exploring the differences and similarities in the production of turn-taking cues in American English and Argentine Spanish. An analysis of prosodic features automatically extracted from 21 dyadic conversations (12 En, 9 Sp) revealed that, when signaling Holds, speakers of both languages tend to use roughly the same comb...

The most reliable acoustic corr...
