Perception of speech reflects optimal use of probabilistic speech cues

M Clayards, MK Tanenhaus, RN Aslin, RA Jacobs - Cognition, 2008 - Elsevier
Listeners are exquisitely sensitive to fine-grained acoustic detail within phonetic categories
for sounds and words. Here we show that this sensitivity is optimal given the probabilistic …

The influence of categories on perception: explaining the perceptual magnet effect as optimal statistical inference.

NH Feldman, TL Griffiths, JL Morgan - Psychological review, 2009 - psycnet.apa.org
A variety of studies have demonstrated that organizing stimuli into categories can affect the
way the stimuli are perceived. We explore the influence of categories on perception through …

Localization of sublexical speech perception components

PE Turkeltaub, HB Coslett - Brain and language, 2010 - Elsevier
