Suprathreshold Differences in Competing Speech Perception in Older Listeners with Normal and Impaired Hearing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Venezia, Jonathan H.; Leek, Marjorie R.; Lindeman, Michael P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Age-related declines in auditory temporal processing and cognition make older listeners vulnerable to interference from competing speech. This vulnerability may be increased in older listeners with sensorineural hearing loss due to additional effects of spectral distortion and accelerated cognitive decline. The goal of this study was to…

When Does Fading Enhance Perceptual Category Learning?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pashler, Harold; Mozer, Michael C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Training that uses exaggerated versions of a stimulus discrimination (fading) has sometimes been found to enhance category learning, mostly in studies involving animals and impaired populations. However, little is known about whether and when fading facilitates learning for typical individuals. This issue was explored in 7 experiments. In…

The Incongruency Advantage for Environmental Sounds Presented in Natural Auditory Scenes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gygi, Brian; Shafiro, Valeriy – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
The effect of context on the identification of common environmental sounds (e.g., dogs barking or cars honking) was tested by embedding them in familiar auditory background scenes (street ambience, restaurants). Initial results with subjects trained on both the scenes and the sounds to be identified showed a significant advantage of about five…

Perceptual Pressures on Lenition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kaplan, Abby – Language and Speech, 2011
The phonological processes known as "lenition" have traditionally been explained as articulatory effort reduction. However, such a motivation for lenition has never been directly demonstrated; in addition, there are reasons to doubt the articulatory explanation.This paper focuses on a particular type of lenition (intervocalic…

The Interrelationship of Phonemic Segmentation, Auditory Abstraction, and Word Recognition.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Beach, Sara Ann – 1990
A study examined the construct and predictive validity of phonemic awareness to determine the strength of the relationship between phonemic segmentation and auditory abstraction and to determine which of the two measures provided the best prediction of word recognition ability. Data were gathered from 65 first-grade children from 2 public…

Learning Style Preferences of Southeast Asian Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Park, Clara C. – Urban Education, 2000
Investigated the perceptual learning style preferences (auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and tactile) and preferences for group and individual learning of Southeast Asian students compared to white students. Surveys indicated significant differences in learning style preferences between Southeast Asian and white students and between the diverse…
