Release from informational masking by time reversal of native and non-native interfering speech.
In many studies, the influence of intelligibility of the interfering speech is avoided by reversing it in time. Usually, intelligibility with time-reversed interfering speech indeed is higher compared to that with normal interfering speech. However, due to the nature of speech, reversed speech also gives rise to increased forward masking. The latter will result in a decrease in intelligibility....
متن کاملWithin-ear and across-ear interference in a cocktail-party listening task.
Although many researchers have shown that listeners are able to selectively attend to a target speech signal when a masking talker is present in the same ear as the target speech or when a masking talker is present in a different ear than the target speech, little is known about selective auditory attention in tasks with a target talker in one ear and independent masking talkers in both ears at...
متن کاملPhonetic and lexical interferences in informational masking during speech-in-speech comprehension
This study investigates masking effects occurring during speech comprehension in the presence of concurrent speech signals. We examined the differential effects of acoustic–phonetic and lexical content of 4to 8-talker babble (natural speech) or babble-like noise (reversed speech) on word identification. Behavioral results show a monotonic decrease in speech comprehension rates with an increasin...
متن کاملEffect of masker type and age on speech intelligibility and spatial release from masking in children and adults.
Speech recognition in noisy environments improves when the speech signal is spatially separated from the interfering sound. This effect, known as spatial release from masking (SRM), was recently shown in young children. The present study compared SRM in children of ages 5-7 with adults for interferers introducing energetic, informational, and/or linguistic components. Three types of interferers...
متن کاملRobot Arm Performing Writing through Speech Recognition Using Dynamic Time Warping Algorithm
This paper aims to develop a writing robot by recognizing the speech signal from the user. The robot arm constructed mainly for the disabled people who can’t perform writing on their own. Here, dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to recognize the speech signal from the user. The action performed by the robot arm in the environment is done by reducing the redundancy which frequently fac...
