Title
Perceptual Learning Of Liquids
Abstract
Previous research on lexically-guided perceptual learning has focussed on contrasts that differ primarily in local cues, such as plosive and fricative contrasts. The present research had two aims: to investigate whether perceptual learning occurs for a contrast with non-local cues, the /1/-/r/ contrast, and to establish whether STRAIGHT can be used to create ambiguous sounds on an /1/-/r/ continuum. Listening experiments showed lexically-guided learning about the /1/-/r/ contrast. Listeners can thus tune in to unusual speech sounds characterised by non-local cues. Moreover, STRAIGHT can be used to create stimuli for perceptual learning experiments, opening up new research possibilities.
