Perceiving pitch in spoken utterances is an important part of the speech comprehension
process. Previous studies on pitch perception concentrated on 'peaks', neglecting 'valleys' …

This study adopts a cross-linguistic perspective and investigates how musical expertise
affects the perception of duration and pitch in language. Native speakers of Chinese (N= 44) …

Estonian is a quantity language with both a primary duration cue and a secondary pitch cue,
whereas Chinese is a tonal language with a dominant pitch use. Using a mismatch …

Two experiments explored how pitch influences perception of vowel duration as a cue to
voicing in light of (1) psychoacoustic interactions between pitch and duration and (2) …

Perceived vowel duration is known to be influenced by many factors, including f0
height/movement and ones' native phonological system. Using multiple experimental …

Musical experiences and native language are both known to affect auditory processing. The
present work aims to disentangle the influences of native language phonology and …

The perceived duration of a sound is affected by its fundamental frequency and intensity:
higher sounds are judged to be longer, as are sounds with greater intensity. Since …

This study explores how listeners integrate tonal cues to prosodic structure with their
perception of local speech rate and consequent interpretation of durational cues. In three …

In recent decades the cognitive sciences have seen some remarkable developments that
reflect shifting and broadening perspectives of the discipline. One is the recognition that …

Humans appear to be wired to perceive acoustic events rhythmically. English speakers, for
example, tend to perceive alternating short and long sounds as a series of binary groups …
