This dissertation investigates whether people possess knowledge of fine-grained distinctions among the sonority levels that are unattested in their language. Specifically, I investigate the whether people encode the putatively universal distinction between the sonority levels of fricatives and stops. Across languages, fricatives and stops differ…

Reviews studies in which perceptual cue trading data have been compared with computational models and examines the perception of contrast between the voiceless fricative "s" and the voiceless affricate "ts." Nine subjects listened to a total of 6 tokens each of 193 stimuli and labeled each stimulus as containing either of the…

Peer reviewedWerker, Janet F. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1986
Attempts to determine whether broadened linguistic experience facilitates cross-language phonetic sensitivity to a novel speech contrast. Multilingual adults and monolingual English speaking adults were compared on their ability to make phonetic distinctions not found in their respective native languages. Broad, nonspecific linguistic experience…

We report four experiments designed to determine whether visual information affects judgments of acoustically-specified nonspeech events as well as speech events (the "McGurk effect"). Previous findings have shown only weak McGurk effects for nonspeech stimuli, whereas strong effects are found for consonants. We used click sounds that…
