An AER study of stop-consonant discrimination [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1987 The purpose of this study was to explore hemispheric involvement in stop-consonant discrimination. Two experimental designs were used. In the first design, averaged evoked responses (AERs) to stop-consonant-vowel (CV) syllables were combined with AERs to nonspeech stimuli, in a paradigm similar to earlier studies, and were submitted to a principal ...

Stop-consonant voicing and intraoral pressure contours in women and children. [PDF]
J Acoust Soc Am, 2008 Previous authors have established that stop consonant voicing is more limited in young children than adults, and have ascribed this to immature vocal-tract pressure management.

Object-based attention modulates the discrimination of level increments in stop-consonant noise bursts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 This study tested the hypothesis that object-based attention modulates the discrimination of level increments in stop-consonant noise bursts. With consonant-vowel-consonant (CvC) words consisting of an ≈80-dB vowel (v), a pre-vocalic (Cv) and a post ...

Mapping the spectrotemporal regions influencing perception of French stop consonants in noise [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding how speech sounds are decoded into linguistic units has been a central research challenge over the last century. This study follows a reverse-correlation approach to reveal the acoustic cues listeners use to categorize French stop ...

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1956 Short-time energy vs frequency spectra of stop bursts, and formant transitions in the adjacent vowel have been studied. Sound segments consisting of burst or transition alone were submitted to listeners for identification. Results are discussed with the aim of developing possible identifying criteria utilizing cues in the burst spectra and in the ...

Roles of voice onset time and F0 in stop consonant voicing perception: effects of masking noise and low-pass filtering. [PDF]
J Speech Lang Hear Res, 2013 PURPOSE The contributions of voice onset time (VOT) and fundamental frequency (F0) were evaluated for the perception of voicing in syllable-initial stop consonants in words that were low-pass filtered and/or masked by speech-shaped noise. It was expected

On Acoustical Cues for Stop Consonants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1956 A study has been conducted of the two major cues for stop consonants: the burst of the stop release and the transition of the formants in the adjacent vowels. Detailed frequency vs intensity spectra of the bursts were prepared, while the transitions were studied by means of Sonagraph records.

Relation of vocal tract shape, formant transitions, and stop consonant identification. [PDF]
J Speech Lang Hear Res, 2010 PURPOSE The present study was designed to investigate the relation of formant transitions to place-of-articulation for stop consonants. A speech production model was used to generate simulated utterances containing voiced stop consonants, and a ...

Speech Production Development in Mandarin-Speaking Children: A Case of Lingual Stop Consonants [PDF]
Behavioral SciencesLingual stops are among the earliest sounds acquired by young children, but the process of acquiring the temporal coordination of lingual gestures necessary for the production of stop consonants appears to be protracted.

Acoustic Invariance for Stop Consonants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972 Previous research using synthetic speech has revealed that rapid frequency changes in the speech wave (transitions) are important cues for the perception of stop consonants. It has also been shown that these transitions are different for a given consonant in different vowel environments.
