Success in spoken word processing relies not only on accurate word recognition but also the veracity with which words are maintained in memory. However, research on word retention is still scarce, especially in tonal languages and phonologically impaired populations. To address these gaps, the present study administered an auditory order recall task to native Cantonese speakers with and without amusia...
Even when acoustic tokens vary substantially, they nevertheless can usually be recognized accurately. Two opposing models have been proposed to account for how the speech recognition mechanism works to achieve the perceptual consistency. The abstract model holds that there is a unitary cognitive representation for each phonological category. The speech signal, after having variations filtered out...
This study investigated the effects of three different carriers on Mandarin tone perception. Three tone continua were constructed: Modified speech, synthesized speech, and nonspeech. Identification tests were conducted for the two speech continua, while discrimination tests were conducted for all the three continua. Results showed that category boundary position differed significantly between the...
