On Wed Oct 7 at 10:00 am Carol Pham will present: Cherry EC. “Some experiments on the recognition of speech, with one and with two ears.” The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 25 (1953): 975-979.

Abstract: This paper describes a number 0f objective experiments on recognition concerning particularly the relation between the messages received by the two ears. Rather than use steady tones or clicks (frequency or time-point signals) continuous speech is used, and the results interpreted in the main statistically. Two types of test are reported:( a) the behavior of a listener…Continue Reading On Wed Oct 7 at 10:00 am Carol Pham will present: Cherry EC. “Some experiments on the recognition of speech, with one and with two ears.” The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 25 (1953): 975-979.

RE Remez, PE Rubin, DB Pisoni, TD Carrell Speech perception without traditional speech cues Science 22 May 1981: Vol. 212 no. 4497 pp. 947-949 Abs: A three-tone sinusoidal replica of a naturally produced utterance was identified by listeners, despite the readily apparent unnatural speech quality of the signal. The time-varying properties of these highly artificial acoustic…Continue Reading On Wed Sep 30 at 10:00 am Matt Richardson will present Remez et al. (1981) Science paper

The difference between percent correct and information transferred: a lesson learned from Miller and Nicely 1955

Consider that two stimuli, with each being presented 100 times, produce the following 3 response patterns (rows represent stimuli and column represent responses): 100, o 0,    100 50, 50 50, 50 0,   100 100, 0 The present correct score is 100%, 50% and 0% for response pattern 1, 2 and 3, respectively, but…Continue Reading The difference between percent correct and information transferred: a lesson learned from Miller and Nicely 1955
