The intriguing possibility has emerged that the mechanisms processing information concerning different attributes might arrive at incompatible conclusions, so that stimuli are perceived which have paradoxical properties. This study demonstrated just such a situation. (Author/RK)

Phonological fusion occurs when the phonemes of two different speech stimuli are combined into a new percept that is longer and linguistically more complex than either of the two inputs. The present article is an investigation of the conditions necessary and sufficient for fusion to occur. (Editor/RK)

Article attempted to show how two major factors of decision confidence and expectancy are reflected in the P to the subpower of 3 component (a long-latency positive component) of the cortical-evoked potential. (Editor/RK)

A new procedure for estimating the dichotic ear advantage is applied for the first time in conjunction with the single-response requirement. Most subjects showed unusually large right-ear advantages, making the present methodology interesting for the study of hemispheric asymmetry. (Editor)

The rate of speaking in words per minute is a function of three independent variables, namely, articulation rate and the number and durations of pauses. The present study varies each of these components separately in a factorial design in order to determine how the listener combines them into a global impression of speech rate. (Editor)

Four experiments are reported investigating previous findings that speech perception interferes with concurrent verbal memory but difficult nonverbal perceptual tasks do not, to any great degree. (Editor)

Demonstrates that categorization of speech sounds can be influenced by the phonetic structure of connected speech. (Editor/RK)

If the N1 wave (amplitude component between 80-130 msec) does not serve as an index of an initial stimulus set stage of selection, the N1 amplitudes should be differentiated between channels whether the selection is based on pitch, spatial position, intensity, or cues that lead to an efficient rejection of unwanted information. This study…

The processing-capacity and arousal-level effects on choice between computer-generated "melodies" differing in complexity were compared in a divided-attention situation. (Editor)

Two experiments investigated the effects of feedback on absolute judgments of loudness. (Editor)

A phonetic confusion model and some procedural artifacts were eliminated as sources for individual differences in fusion rate. Results of these two experiments were consistent with the hypothesis that individual differences in fusion rate are due to differences in perceptual dependence on linguistic rules. (Editor/RK)

A multiple regression analysis of sequential effects in magnitude estimation and absolute identification is presented as an alternative to the approach used by Lockhead and his students. The new analysis indicates that sequential effects do not extend over more than one trial. (Editor)

Names of cities were shock associated and then embedded in material presented to the nonattended channel in a dichotic listening and shadowing situation. A test for conditioning followed the dichotic listening task. Comparisons are made with other studies of galvanic skin responses to unattended words. (Editor/RK)

This study concerned discriminating between ear of entry and apparent spatial position as possible determinants of lateral asymmetries in the recall of simultaneous speech messages. (Editor/RK)

In 1974 Wood proposed a hybrid serial-parallel model to account for the within-stimulus interactions between the acoustic cue of "pitch" and the phonetic cue of "place". These experiments found Wood's research independent of his subjects' experience, the order of cue presentation, and whether the cues are presented simultaneously or sequentially.…
