AI Article Synopsis
- Three experiments studied how extra processing time affects how we recognize spoken words.
- In Experiment 1a, a silent pause before a phoneme helped participants react faster, showing they could use their knowledge better with more time.
- Experiment 2 found that both word length and extra processing time influenced how listeners interpreted sounds that didn't match, highlighting the role of anticipatory coarticulation in understanding speech.
Article Abstract
Three phoneme monitoring experiments examined the manner in which additional processing time influences spoken word recognition. Experiment 1a introduced a version of the phoneme monitoring paradigm in which a silent interval is inserted prior to the word-final target phoneme. Phoneme monitoring reaction time decreased as the silent interval increased indicating that lexical knowledge was utilized more effectively with additional processing time. Experiment 1b used short, medium, and long words and derived nonwords with word-initial mismatching segments. Phoneme monitoring response times to words and nonwords were sensitive to both additional processing time (silent interval delay) and word length. Experiment 2 examined the utilization of anticipatory coarticulation as a function of word length and additional processing time. The results suggest that (segmental and coarticulatory) information subsequent to mismatching information influences spoken word recognition in a manner dependent on word length and availability of additional processing time.
