This study sought to determine whether rap expertise is associated with enhanced knowledge of psychoacoustic similarity. Using a stimulus composed of pseudo-word assonantal half-rhyme triplets (e.g., freet/speet//yeek), expert improvisational rap lyricists were compared to laypersons (non-lyricists) in their judgments of half-rhyme acceptability. According to both a perception-based and a linguistic feature-based measure of psychoacoustic similarity, lyricists were distinct from non-lyricists in the rates at which they found half-rhymes acceptable, and in how group responses were correlated with the similarity measures. Data indicate that, compared to non-lyricists, lyricists' half-rhyme acceptance rates are more highly correlated with linguistic features that have more robust perceptual cues. Evidence suggests that lyricists and non-lyricists employ different strategies for determining the acceptability of half-rhymes, and that lyricists might be more sensitive or attuned to similar aspects of speech sounds.
这项研究旨在确定说唱专业知识是否与增强对心理声学相似性的认识有关。使用由伪词押韵半押韵三胞胎（例如，freetspeet//yeek）组成的刺激，将即兴说唱抒情诗人与非抒情诗人（非抒情诗人）进行比较，以判断半押韵的可接受性。根据基于感知和基于语言特征的心理声学相似性度量，抒情诗人在接受半押韵的速度上与非抒情诗人明显不同，并且群体反应与相似性度量的相关性如何。数据表明，与非抒情诗人相比，抒情诗人的半押韵接受率与具有更可靠感知线索的语言特征的相关性更高。有证据表明，抒情诗人和非抒情诗人在确定半押韵的可接受性时采用不同的策略，而抒情诗人可能对语音的相似方面更为敏感或协调。
