Listener Discrimination Between Age Differences in Two Speakers: A comparison task involving recordings of the voices of Terry Gross and Ira Glass from different years
Download2023-05-04
Often when listeners hear a speaker, they have an impression of the age of the speaker. The present research seeks to determine how well listeners can identify a speaker’s age when provided with two different recordings from one speaker. Previous research has asked participants to place a...

Supplementary materials and data for "Perception and timing of acoustic distance"
2023-01-21
Matthew C. Kelley, Benjamin V. Tucker
The files in this ZIP archive are supplementary materials for "Timing and perception of acoustic distance". There are three main subfolders: 1) "distance_rating" - contains the files to reproduce the distance rating task analysis 2) "duration_discrimination" - contains the files to reproduce the...

It is common in linguistic analysis to treat words as strings of speech segments that are believed to be transduced from the speech signal. However, there are notable shortcomings with this approach, especially concerning word comparison. Principally, comparing speech segment strings does not...

Using phonological neighborhood density has been a common method to quantify lexical competition. It is useful and convenient but has shortcomings that are worth reconsidering. The present study quantifies the effects of lexical competition during spoken word recognition using acoustic distance...

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...

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....

Assessing the importance of several acoustic properties to the perception of spontaneous speech
Download2018-03-28
Podlubny, Ryan G., Nearey, Terrance M., Kondrak, Grzegorz, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Spoken language manifests itself as change over time in various acoustic dimensions. While it seems clear that acoustic-phonetic information in the speech signal is key to language processing, little is currently known about which specific types of acoustic information are relatively...

bBoiA sizable number of phonetic and psycholinguistic experiments have been conducted to investigate the recognition of real words. From this work, researchers have found that various characteristics of lexical items affect the recognition process, such as lexical frequency, phonotactic...
