UNIT 3

The interference between visual and auditory perception is called:

• Prime effect

• Coarticulation effect

• McGurk effect

A fricative, labiodental, and voiced sound would most likely be made by a

• p

• k

• v

While Japanese speakers consider the relation between /r/ and /l/ to be fluid and thus_______, English speakers treat the two as distinct _______.

• phonemic; allophones

• diphthongic; allophones

• allophonic; phonemes

Refer to the figure below. Based on the figure, at which VOT would you expect a participant to be most confident they heard the sound /pa/?

• 0

• 35

• 20

Phonemic restoration occurs when a single sound in the target word is replaced by

• a non-speech sound that shares certain acoustic properties with a speech sound (i.e. coughing)

• a silence

• the same sound

The study of how speech sound are produced is called

• Psycholinguistics

• Acoustic phonetics

• Articulatory phonetics

________refers to the point at which the airflow becomes obstructed

• voicing

• place of articulation

• manner of articulation

We mentally group clusters of similar sounds that perform the same function into categories called:

• phonemes

• perceptual categories

• allophones

Categorical perception is the experience of perception of invariances in sensory phenomena. Categorical perception is:

• Inherited.

• Not limited to speech sounds.

• Limited to speech sounds

Speech sounds change character as a function of the sound with which they are produced. This effect is called

• coarticulation

• parallel transmission

• shadowing
