Enhancing The Perceptual Salience Of Information-Rich Regions Of Natural Intervocalic Consonants. (2007)

Andrew Simpson And, Valerie Hazan

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the perceptual effect of various enhancements made to information-rich regions of intervocalic consonants. The first tested the benefits of altering the...

Im Ps On, Valerie Hazan, Andrew Simpson

Two sets of experiments to test the perceptual benefits of enhancing information-rich regions of consonants in natural speech were performed. In the first set, hand-annotated consonantal regions of...

The lexical utility of phoneme-category plasticity (2005)

Cutler, Anne, MARCS Auditory Laboratories, McQueen, James M., ...

Exposure to an accented production of a particular phoneme in word contexts induces a shift in listeners' representations of the inclusiveness of that phoneme category. In a lexical decision...

Enhancement techniques to improve the intelligibility of consonants in noise : Speaker and listener effects (1998)

Valerie Hazan, Andrew Simpson, Mark Huckvale

The aim of our work is to increase the intelligibility of speech in noise by modifying regions of the signal that contain acoustic cues to consonant identity in order to make it more resistant to...

Speech perceptual abilities of children with specific reading difficulty (dyslexia (1996)

Valerie Hazan, Alan Adlard

A group of 13 children with specific reading difficulty (SRD), 12 chronological-age and 12 reading-age controls were tested on a battery of speech-perceptual, psychoacoustic and reading tests. As a...
