Part 4 Chapters

From CNBH Acoustic Scale Wiki

A: The discrimination and recognition of scaled communication sounds

• Chapter 4a.1 is a paper on the discrimination and recognition of scaled vowels by Smith et al. (2005)
• Chapter 4a.2 is a paper on the discrimination and recognition of scaled syllables (stop, sonorant, fricative consonants in CV and VC syllables) by Ives et al. (2005).
• Chapter 4a.3 is a paper on the discrimination and recognition of scaled instrument sounds (brass, string, woodwind and voice) by van Dinther and Patterson (2006).

B: The interaction of acoustic variables in the recognition of concurrent syllables

• Chapter 4b.1 describes the robustness of human speech recognition to variation in vocal characteristics (Vestergaard et al. in preparation).
• Chapter 4b.2 describes the interaction of vocal tract length and glottal pulse rate in the recognition of concurrent syllables by Vestergaard et al. (2009).
• Chapter 4b.3 describes the interaction of location and acoustic scale in concurrent syllable recognition by Ives et al (2010).
• Chapter 4b.4 describes the interaction of temporal offset and acoustic scale in concurrent syllable recognition (Vestergaard et al. second revision).

C: The role of acoustic scale in the perception of speaker size and instrument register

• Chapter 4c.1 is a paper on the interaction of glottal-pulse rate and vocal-tract length in judgements of speaker size, sex and age by Smith and Patterson (2005).
• Chapter 4c.1 presents a comparison of relative and absolute judgements of speaker size by Walters et al. (2008).
• Chapter 4c.3 describes the perception of family and register in musical instruments by Patterson et al. (2010).

D: The role of voicing in the perception of scaled speech sounds

• Chapter 4d.1 describes the effects of voicing in the recognition of concurrent syllables by Vestergaard and Patterson (2009).
