Psychophysics of speech and speech‐like stimuli

Classification and discrimination of single, complex, and interpolated speechlike stimuli*

Perceptual processing of single and complex (multi-formant) CV-like and VC-like sounds, as well as interpolated natural speech-based syllables is examined in forcedchoice classification and ABX discrimination tasks. The sounds have short and rapid plosive-like vocalic transitions, and are preceded or followed by an /a/-like or /u/-like stationary part. Twelve seven-item /b/-/d/ continua were cr...

Psychophysics of Speech

Directional benefit in the presence of speech and speechlike maskers.

Recent research suggests that omnidirectional hearing aids are relatively ineffective at improving speech understanding in everyday conversational speech settings when the background noise contains both energetic and informational masking components. Energetic masking refers to situations where the peripheral (or neural) activity of the target is less than that of the masker, thus making the ta...
