The extreme acoustic variability of speech is well established, which makes the proficiency
of human speech perception all the more impressive. Speech perception, like perception in …

Listeners are highly proficient at adapting to contextual variation when perceiving speech. In
the present study, we examined the effects of brief speech and nonspeech contexts on the …

Important speech cues such as lexical tone and vowel quality are perceptually contrasted to
the distribution of those same cues in surrounding contexts. However, it is unclear whether …

This chapter describes numerous ways in which the auditory system transforms the
incoming acoustic signal in ways that affect the processing of phonetic information. As …

Speech perception is heavily influenced by surrounding sounds. When spectral properties
differ between earlier (context) and later (target) sounds, this can produce spectral contrast …

Speech sound perception is influenced by the spectral properties of surrounding sounds.
For example, listeners perceive/g/(lower F3 onset) more often after sounds with prominent …

All perception takes place in context. Recognition of a given speech sound is influenced by
the acoustic properties of surrounding sounds. When the spectral composition of earlier …

The auditory system is remarkably sensitive to changes in the acoustic environment. This is
exemplified by two classic effects of preceding spectral context on perception. In auditory …

Auditory perception is shaped by spectral properties of surrounding sounds. For example,
when spectral properties differ between earlier (context) and later (target) sounds, this can …

Speech perception, like all perception, takes place in context. Recognition of a given speech
sound is influenced by the acoustic properties of surrounding sounds. When the spectral …
