Individual talkers differ in the acoustic properties of their speech, and at least some of these
differences are in acoustic properties relevant for phonetic perception. Recent findings from …

Recent findings in the domains of word and talker recognition reveal that listeners use
previous experience with an individual talker's voice to facilitate subsequent perceptual …

Previous research indicates that talkers differ in phonetically relevant properties of speech,
including voice-onset-time (VOT) in word-initial stop consonants; some talkers have …

Previous research shows that listeners are sensitive to talker differences in phonetic
properties of speech, including voice-onset-time (VOT) in word-initial voiceless stop …

Three experiments tested the hypothesis that vowels play a disproportionate role in hearing
talker identity, while consonants are more important in perceiving word meaning. In each …

Talkers differ in the shape and length of their vocal tracts, and in a number of other
characteristics that affect speech production. As a result, two different talkers may produce …

Variation across talkers in the acoustic-phonetic realization of speech sounds is a pervasive
property of spoken language. The present study provides evidence that variation across …

Listeners are able to accurately recognize speech despite variation in acoustic cues across
contexts, such as different speaking rates. Previous work has suggested that listeners use …

One of the persistent puzzles in understanding human speech perception is how listeners
cope with talker variability. One thing that might help listeners is structure in talker variability …

A fundamental problem in speech perception is how (or whether) listeners accommodate
variability in the way talkers produce speech. One view of the way listeners cope with this …
