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.…

Considers listener expectancies based on timing redundancy in continuous speech and the interaction between the effects of segmental and suprasegmental cues during ongoing perception. (Editor/RK)
