Abstract Sensitivity to change in perception of speech

by Keith R. Kluender A, Jeffry A. Coady A, Michael Kiefte B
"... Perceptual systems in all modalities are predominantly sensitive to stimulus change, and many examples of perceptual systems responding to change can be portrayed as instances of enhancing contrast. Multiple findings from perception experiments serve as evidence for spectral contrast explaining fund ..."

Cross-language speech perception: Initial capabilities and developmental change

by Janet F. Werker, Chris E. Lalonde - Developmental Psychology , 1988
"... This article reports three studies designed to increase our understanding of developmental changes in cross-language speech perception. In the first study, we compared adult speakers of English and Hindi on their ability to discriminate pairings from a synthetic voiced, unaspirated place-of-articula ..."

Questionnaire on the perceptions of patients about total hip replacement. J Bone Joint Surg [Br

by J. Dawson, R. Fitzpatrick, Jill Dawson, Ray Fitzpatrick, Andrew Carr
"... We developed a 12-item questionnaire forcompletion by patients having shoulder operations other than stabilisation. A prospective study of 111 patients was undertaken before operation and at follow-up six months later. Each patient completed the new questionnaire and the SF36 form. Some filled in th ..."

was established by obtaining significant correlations in the expected direction with the Constant score and the relevant scales of the SF36 and the HAQ. Sensitivity to change was assessed by analysing the differences between the preoperative scores and those at follow-up. Changes in scores were compared

Exemplar dynamics: Word frequency, lenition and contrast

by Janet B. Pierrehumbert - In , 2001
"... Exemplar theory was first developed as a model of similarity and classification in perception. In this paper, the theory is extended to model speech production as well as speech perception. Straightforward extension of the model provides a formal framework for thinking about the quantitative predict ..."

Collaborative filtering with temporal dynamics

by Yehuda Koren - In Proc. of KDD ’09 , 2009
"... Customer preferences for products are drifting over time. Product perception and popularity are constantly changing as new selection emerges. Similarly, customer inclinations are evolving, leading them to ever redefine their taste. Thus, modeling temporal dynamics should be a key when designing reco ..."

Integration of featural information in speech perception

by Gregg C. Oden, Dominic W. Massaro - Psychological Review
"... A model for the identification of speech sounds is proposed that assumes that (a) the acoustic cues are perceived independently, (b) feature evaluation provides information about the degree to which each quality is present in the speech sound, (c) each speech sound is denned by a propositional proto ..."

dimension. These results have previously been interpreted as evidence for the interaction of the perceptions of the acoustic features themselves. In contrast, the present model provides a good description of the data, including these boundary changes, while still maintaining complete

Words and voices: Episodic traces in spoken word identification and recognition memory

by Stephen D. Goldinger - J. Exp. Psych: Learn., Mem., & Cog , 1996
"... Most theories of spoken word identification assume that variable speech signals are matched to canonical representations in memory. To achieve this, idiosyncratic voice details are first normalized, allowing direct comparison of the input to the lexicon. This investigation assessed both explicit and ..."

Effect of temporal envelope smearing on speech reception.

by Rob Drullman , Joost M Festen , Reinier Plomp - International Journal of Bioelectromagnetism , 2011
"... The effect of smearing the temporal envelope on the speech-reception threshold (SRT) for sentences in noise and on phoneme identification was investigated for normal-hearing listeners. For this purpose, the speech signal was split up into a series of frequency bands (width of The ear's resolut ..."

of the spectral properties and of formant transitions dominated the effect of amplitude manipulations. It should be noted that the results of all these studies are based on wideband amplitude envelopes. With the present perception experiments we investigated the extent to which speech intelligibility depends

Phonological context in speech perception

by Dominic W. Massaro, Michael M. Cohen - Perception and Psychophysics , 1983
"... Speech perception can be viewed in terms of the listener's integration of two sources of information: the acoustic features transduced by the auditory receptor system and the context of the linguistic message. The present research asked how these sources were evaluated and integrated in the ide ..."

On the Semantics and Pragmatics of Linguistic Feedback

by Jens Allwood, Joakim Nivre, Elisabeth Ahlsén - JOURNAL OF SEMANTICS , 1993
"... This paper is an exploration in the semantics and pragmatics of linguistic feedback, i.e., linguistic mechanisms which enable the participants in spoken interaction to exchange information about basic communicative functions, such as contact, perception, understanding, and attitudinal reactions to t ..."

to context sensitivity, which is one of the most characteristic features of feedback expressions, the discussion focuses on the way in which the type of speech act (mood), the factual polarity and the information status of the preceding utterance influence the interpretation of feedback utterances
