| Abstract | Selected studies in speech perception are reviewed. Topics covered include contributions of prosody to segmental perception, problems of segmentation & invariance, categorical perception of speech & nonspeech, the role of feature detectors, the scaling of speech sounds to an auditory-articulatory space, acoustic phonetic dependencies within the syllable, contributions of higher order (nonphonetic) factors to the comprehension of fluent speech, & cerebral specialization. Emphasized is a view in which phonetic segments are seen as abstract processes that link sound & articulation, & that become available to the listener through specialized sensorimotor mechanisms. In Summary of the Reporter's Additional Remarks on Speech Perception, Studdert-Kennedy feels he may have misinterpreted the aims of the Leningrad group in the original paper. Additional information on feature detectors & cerebral specialization is discussed. |
