Listeners adjust their phonetic categories to cope with variations in the speech signal (phonetic recalibration). Previous studies have shown that lipread speech (and word knowledge) can adjust the perception of ambiguous speech and can induce phonetic adjustments (Bertelson, Vroomen, & de Gelder in Psychological Science, 14(6), 592-597, 2003; Norris, McQueen, & Cutler in Cognitive Psychology, 47(2), 204-238, 2003). We examined whether orthographic information (text) also can induce phonetic recalibration. Experiment 1 showed that after exposure to ambiguous speech sounds halfway between /b/ and /d/ that were combined with text (b or d) participants were more likely to categorize auditory-only test sounds in accordance with the exposed letters. Experiment 2 replicated this effect with a very short exposure phase. These results show that listeners adjust their phonetic boundaries in accordance with disambiguating orthographic information and that these adjustments show a rapid build-up.
听者会调整他们的语音类别以应对语音信号中的变化(语音重新校准)。先前的研究表明,唇读语音(以及单词知识)可以调整对模糊语音的感知,并能引发语音调整(Bertelson、Vroomen和de Gelder,发表于《心理科学》,2003年第14卷第6期,第592 - 597页;Norris、McQueen和Cutler,发表于《认知心理学》,2003年第47卷第2期,第204 - 238页)。我们研究了正字法信息(文本)是否也能引发语音重新校准。实验1表明,在接触了介于/b/和/d/之间的模糊语音并与文本(b或d)相结合后,参与者更有可能根据所接触的字母对仅听觉的测试声音进行分类。实验2通过非常短的接触阶段重复了这一效应。这些结果表明,听者会根据消除歧义的正字法信息调整他们的语音边界,并且这些调整呈现出快速形成的特点。
