[HTML][HTML] Dichotic integration of acoustic-phonetic information: Competition from extraneous formants increases the effect of second-formant attenuation on intelligibility

B Roberts, RJ Summers - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of …, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
Differences in ear of presentation and level do not prevent effective integration of concurrent
speech cues such as formant frequencies. For example, presenting the higher formants of a …
