How acoustic distinctiveness affects spoken word recognition: A pilot study
2018-09-01
In the present study, I propose an acoustically-based alternative to phonological neighborhood density. Phonological neighborhood density has been used in many studies as an approximate quantification of lexical competition during spoken word recognition. However, phonological neighborhood...

Research on speech perception and lexical access often uses the activation and competition metaphor to describe the process of spoken word recognition. One way of expressing competition associated with a given word is its phonological neighborhood density, which is a calculation of similarity....

Perception and timing of acoustic distance
2021-11-06
Matthew C. Kelley, Benjamin V. Tucker
The notion of acoustic distance figures into many aspects of phonetics, including phonological neighborhoods. A measurement of word-level acoustic distance useful for cognitive modeling must account for two aspects of perception: listener sensitivity to acoustic differences and the duration...
