On perception of word-based local speech rate in Japanese without focusing attention
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fundamental investigations about differential limen (DL) for word-based speech rate variations in Japanese are described. We carry out auditory tests with stimuli made by equally lengthening or shortening a duration of a word in a sentence. We set up the experiments to diffuse the subjects' focus of attention. When the focus is diffused, the DL value of acceleration increases in several cases. The obtained DLs are 18.9 msec/mora for acceleration and 26.5 msec/mora for deceleration.

Envelope-based inter-aural time difference localization training to improve speech-in-noise perception in the elderly
Background: Many elderly individuals complain of difficulty in understanding speech in noise despite having normal hearing thresholds. According to previous studies, auditory training leads to improvement in speech-in-noise perception, but these studies did not consider the etiology, so their results cannot be generalized. The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of envelope-b...
متن کاملOn differential limen of word-based local speechrate variation in Japanese expressed by duration ratio
Fundamental studies about differential limen (DL) for word-based speech rate variations in Japanese are described. In our previous study, the DLs are expressed by subtractive difference of mora duration. In this report, however, to fit the expression for various global speech rate, the DLs are expressed by variation ratio of mora duration. We carry out auditory tests with stimuli made by equall...

Objectives: This paper studies the effect of Persian Cued Speech on the perception of Persian language phonemes and monosyllabic words with and without sound in hearing impaired children. Cued Speech is a sound based mode of communication for hearing impaired people that is comprised of a limited series of hand complements and the normal pattern of speech. And it is shown that it effectively ca...
متن کاملCorrelation between Auditory Spectral Resolution and Speech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants
Background: Variability in speech performance is a major concern for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Spectral resolution is an important acoustic component in speech perception. Considerable variability and limitations of spectral resolution in children with CIs may lead to individual differences in speech performance. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between auditory ...
متن کاملEffect of signal to noise ratio on the speech perception ability of older adults
Background: Speech perception ability depends on auditory and extra-auditory elements. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an extra-auditory element that has an effect on the ability to normally follow speech and maintain a conversation. Speech in noise perception difficulty is a common complaint of the elderly. In this study, the importance of SNR magnitude as an extra-auditory effect on speech...
