Recognition memory for elements of sentences

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...

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...

Determining the Representation of Sentences in Memory

The present research explores the possibility of several types of memory representations for sentences. A recognition experiment was performed to test participants’ memory for different types of sentences. Two groups of study sentences were constructed. One group was based around associating pairs of words together in the study sentences that would also appear together in distractor test senten...
