Signal- and Listener-Based Factors in Complex Auditory Pattern Perception
Abstract
The research conducted during the one year funding period was a subset of the original three year study of the perception of complex auditory patterns, including speech and music. One set of experiments explored two early stages in the perception of complex signals, using adaptation procedures. This research investigated effects of varying signal amplitude, and the effects of more cognitive factors: lexical knowledge, and the listener's level of attention to the adapting sound. A second set of experiments perceptual restoration effects. Those experiments investigated how knowledge of particular words influenced the perceptual restoration of deleted or degraded portions of the word. The two lines of research represent progress toward understanding the analyses conducted on complex auditory patterns by human listeners.
