Phonetic cue weighting in perception and production
Speech sound contrasts differ along multiple phonetic dimensions. During speech
perception, listeners must decide which cues are relevant, and determine the relative …

What we do (not) know about the mechanisms underlying adaptive speech perception: A computational framework and review
Speech from unfamiliar talkers can be difficult to comprehend initially. These difficulties tend
to dissipate with exposure, sometimes within minutes or less. Adaptivity in response to …

Perceptual cue weighting is influenced by the listener's gender and subjective evaluations of the speaker: the case of English stop voicing
ACL Yu - Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Speech categories are defined by multiple acoustic dimensions and their boundaries are
generally fuzzy and ambiguous in part because listeners often give differential weighting to …
