Intelligibility of four-band speech stimuli was investigated (n = 18), such that only one of the frequency bands was preserved, whereas other bands were locally time-reversed (segment duration: 75-300 ms), or vice versa. Intelligibility was best retained (82% at 75 ms) when the second lowest band (540-1700 Hz) was preserved. When the same band was degraded, the largest drop (10% at 300 ms) occurred. The lowest and second highest bands contributed similarly less strongly to intelligibility. The highest frequency band contributed least. A close connection between the second lowest frequency band and sonority was suggested.
研究了四频带语音刺激的可懂度(n=18),即仅保留一个频带,而其他频带则在局部时间上反转(片段持续时间:75-300ms),或者反之亦然。当保留第二低频带(540-1700Hz)时,可懂度保持最佳(75ms 时为 82%)。当同一频带降级时,下降幅度最大(300ms 时为 10%)。最低和第二最高频带对可懂度的贡献同样较弱。最高频率带的贡献最小。这表明第二低频带与响亮度之间存在密切联系。
