Abstract	Two models of the interaction of phonetic features in speech perception were used to predict Subjects identification functions for a bidimensional series of synthetic consonant-vowel syllables. The stimuli varied systematically in terms of the acoustic cues underlying the phonetic features of place of articulation and voicing. Model I assumed that phonetic features are additive and are processed independently in perception. Model II assumed that the phonetic features interact and are not processed independently. The fit of Model II to the bidimensional series data was better than Model I, suggesting that the phonetic features of place and voicing in stop consonants are not processed independently but rather show a mutual dependency.
