Acoustic absement files
2021-01-01
Matthew C. Kelley, Benjamin V. Tucker
These files contain acoustic absement and acoustic distinctiveness calculations for the words in the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision database. These files accompany the "Using acoustic distance and acoustic absement to quantify lexical competition" article in the Journal of The Acoustical...

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...

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...

Matthew C. Kelley, Benjamin V. Tucker
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...

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...
