PHO130 - Speech Perception

[@TheAwesomeGingerGuy]

I have a question if I may. It was said in the video that: (2:30) [VOT] is crucial for us to discriminate between clusters (such as [baː] and [paː]), and it is a well-established fact that a gradual delay of voice onset time does not lead to a differentiation between the voiceless and voiced consonants. Is the the word "not" supposed to be absent here? I.e., shouldn't it be: "it is a well-established fact that a gradual delay of voice onset time does lead to a differentiation between the voiceless and voiced consonants"? Thanks

He means it's a categorical change. Gradually changing VOT you hear ba ba ba ba ? then suddenly pa pa pa. You don't hear a bunch things that sound like neither ba nor pa but cleary moving gradually from ba to pa.

I'm afraid you have some facts incorrect, especially about VOT. This should be measured from the release of the stop to the beginning of voicing. For truly "voiced" stops, VOT might be negative, as voicing might begin before the release of the stop. The numbers you gave, though, sound like numbers for English perception, where almost all VOTs are positive. A small, but positive VOT like 10 ms. is perceived as a voiced stop, and a larger (still positive) VOT like 50 ms is perceived as voiceless. A VOT of 250 ms would be extreme, but possible, and would clearly be perceived as voiceless. The dividing line of 30 ms is about right, but it works the other way - long VOTs mean voiceless, and short VOTs (including negative VOTs) mean voiced.

you are right.......... your comment saved me from the confusion

[@zunairazafar860]

Can you plz make me understand this concept of VOT ?

[@giangnguyen3704]

so touching for an excellent video

[@WhoopsKanin]

Wait, I thought larger VOT = /pa/, and shorter = /ba/? That's what I've read in all other articles

Nice explanation boss❤

[@mohammedabdulawalfarves922]

Thank You Boss.. Finally you've overcome! Congratulations!

I've seen a video that shows that what we SEE influences what our brain HEARS, like we are almost lip-reading, to the extent that what we hear is modified by our visual cues. We are amazing machines, and it's not 'just' into the ears perceived by the brain.

Very interesting! This is helping me understanding my project. BUT! I don't quit understand the feature detector thing?

Thank you for this lecture.

Veey nice. Had I get this on line class before my exam, I would hv scored more well ....

[@MiRoo427]

Thank you very much. I have a question: is direct realism perception related to passive theories?
