Subjective Awareness during Cross-Language Speech Perception Attending Unattended Regions of an Acoustic Continuum

چکیده
Linguistic experience attenuates adult listeners’ attention to acoustic differences that are not phonemic in the listener’s language. In the present study we found that acoustic information is available to listeners after acoustic cues have been processed to identify phonemic categories. Moreover, we also found that listeners maintained an awareness of these differences by comparing the identification function to typicality ratings and confidence reports.

Title: Suppression of Competing Speech through Entrainment of Cortical Oscillations
18 People are highly skilled at attending to one speaker in the presence of competitors, but the 19 neural mechanisms supporting this remain unclear. Recent studies have argued that the auditory 20 system enhances the gain of a speech stream relative to competitors by entraining (or “phase-locking”) 21 to the rhythmic structure in its acoustic envelope, thus ensuring that syllables arrive durin...
متن کاملSubjective Confidence of Acoustic and Phonemic Representations During Speech Perception
Although many speech perception studies have suggested that long-term memory representations of phonemes induce categorical perception along an acoustic continuum (e.g., voice-onset time; VOT) when identifying speech sounds, other studies have suggested that acoustic information is preserved and that graded responses can be observed in within-category comparisons. Using subjective confidence re...

This paper aims to explore some acoustic properties (i.e. duration and pitch amplitude of speech) associated with three different emotions: anger, sadness and joy against neutrality as a reference point, all being intentionally expressed by six Persian speakers. The primary purpose of this study is to find out if there is any correspondence between the given emotions and prosody patterning in P...
