Perceptual learning of time-compressed and natural fast speech.
Speakers vary their speech rate considerably during a conversation, and listeners are able to quickly adapt to these variations in speech rate. Adaptation to fast speech rates is usually measured using artificially time-compressed speech. This study examined adaptation to two types of fast speech: artificially time-compressed speech and natural fast speech. Listeners performed a speeded sentenc...
متن کاملPerceptual Learning of Time-Compressed Speech: More than Rapid Adaptation
BACKGROUND Time-compressed speech, a form of rapidly presented speech, is harder to comprehend than natural speech, especially for non-native speakers. Although it is possible to adapt to time-compressed speech after a brief exposure, it is not known whether additional perceptual learning occurs with further practice. Here, we ask whether multiday training on time-compressed speech yields more ...
متن کاملAdaptation to natural fast speech and time-compressed speech in children
Adaptation to artificially time-compressed speech and natural fast speech has been previously shown in adult listeners, with significant improvement of performance within 5-10 sentences. In the present study, we investigated whether typically developing children also adapt to such variations in speech rate. Eighteen children performed a semantic judgment task on normal speed sentences, natural ...
متن کاملPerceptual adjustment to time-compressed speech: a cross-linguistic study.
Previous research has shown that, when hearers listen to artificially speeded speech, their performance improves over the course of 10-15 sentences, as if their perceptual system was "adapting" to these fast rates of speech. In this paper, we further investigate the mechanisms that are responsible for such effects. In Experiment 1, we report that, for bilingual speakers of Catalan and Spanish, ...
متن کاملDissociations in perceptual learning revealed by adult age differences in adaptation to time-compressed speech.
When presented with several time-compressed sentences, young adults' performance improves with practice. Such adaptation has not been studied in older adults. To study age-related changes in perceptual learning, the authors tested young and older adults' ability to adapt to degraded speech. First, the authors showed that older adults, when equated for starting accuracy with young adults, adapte...
