The Effect of Incongruent Visual Cues on the Heard Quality of Front Vowels
نویسنده
چکیده
Swedish nonsense syllables distinguished solely by their vowels [i], [y] or [e], were presented to phonetically sophisticated subjects auditorily, visually and in cross-dubbed audiovisual form with incongruent cues to openness, roundedness or both. Acoustic [y] dubbed onto optic [i] or [e] was heard as a retracted [i], while acoustic [i] or [e] dubbed onto optic [y] were perceived as rounded and slightly fronted. This confirms the higher weight of the more reliable information and that intermodal integration occurs at the level of phonetically informative properties prior to any categorization.

Audiovisual perception of congruent and incongruent Dutch front vowels.
PURPOSE Auditory perception of vowels in background noise is enhanced when combined with visually perceived speech features. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the influence of visual cues on vowel perception extends to incongruent vowels, in a manner similar to the McGurk effect observed with consonants. METHOD Identification of Dutch front vowels /i, y, e, Y/ that share ...
متن کاملPerceived afterimage size in depth cue-conflict condition
In depth cue-conflict conditions, various depth cues could represent different extents of depth. Previous studies have investigated the perceived size of negative afterimage in depth cue-correlated conditions in which different cues introduce almost the same amounts of depth to the visual system. This study examined the perceived size of the afterimage in the human observers in a condition that...

This study examines the phonetic properties of lexical stress in English produced by Persian speakers learning English as a foreign language. The four most reliable phonetic correlates of English lexical stress, namely fundamental frequency, duration, intensity, and vowel quality were measured across Persian speakers’ production of the stressed and unstressed syllables of five English disyllabi...

متن کاملCross-modal Interactions in Visual as Opposed to Auditory Perception of Vowels
This paper describes two perception experiments with vowels in monosyllabic utterances presented auditorily, visually and bimodally with incongruent cues to openness and/or roundedness. In the first, the subjects had to tell what they heard; in the second what they saw. The results show that the same stimuli evoke a visual percept that may be influenced by audition and may be different from the...
