Identification errors for initial consonants of consonants-vowels-consonants-vowels from lists A and B of the Nonsense Syllable Test were analyzed for 10 normal-hearing and 8 sensorineural hearing-impaired listeners. The Nonsense Syllable Test stimuli were presented binaurally through earphones at 6 increasing sensation levels. Listeners' verbal responses were recorded and transcribed, converted to symmetric confusion matrices, and submitted to analysis of individual differences scaling for symmetrical matrices. Results from 2- through 5-dimensional analyses revealed that voicing, place of articulation, frication, and sibilancy were the salient features used by both listener types in their perceptions of the initial consonants. Findings suggest that consideration of composition of the stimulus set is important when assessing a listener's response to specific speech discrimination tests.
对10名听力正常的听众和8名感音神经性听力受损的听众，分析了无意义音节测试A表和B表中辅音-元音-辅音-元音的初始辅音识别错误。无意义音节测试刺激通过耳机双耳呈现，感觉水平递增6级。记录并转录听众的口头反应，转换为对称混淆矩阵，并对对称矩阵进行个体差异标度分析。二维至五维分析结果显示，浊音、发音部位、摩擦音和咝音是两种类型的听众在感知初始辅音时使用的显著特征。研究结果表明，在评估听众对特定言语辨别测试的反应时，考虑刺激集的组成很重要。
