The intelligibility of interrupted speech (interrupted over time) and checkerboard speech (interrupted over time-by-frequency), both of which retained a half of the original speech, was examined. The intelligibility of interrupted speech stimuli decreased as segment duration increased. 20-band checkerboard speech stimuli brought nearly 100% intelligibility irrespective of segment duration, whereas, with 2 and 4 frequency bands, a trough of 35%-40% appeared at the 160-ms segment duration. Mosaic speech stimuli (power was averaged over a time-frequency unit) yielded generally poor intelligibility ( ⩽10%). The results revealed the limitations of underlying auditory organization for speech cues scattered in a time-frequency domain.
本文研究了时间上被打断的连贯性言语(间断性言语)和频率上被打断的棋盘格言语(时频交错言语)的可懂度,这两种言语都保留了原始言语的一半。随着分段时长的增加,间断性言语的可懂度降低。20 频段棋盘格言语刺激无论分段时长如何,都几乎能达到 100%的可懂度,而在 2 个和 4 个频段时,在 160 毫秒的分段时长时会出现 35%-40%的低谷。镶嵌式言语刺激(在时频单元上平均功率)通常产生较差的可懂度( ⩽10%)。结果表明,对于在时频域中分散的言语线索,底层听觉组织存在局限性。
