Shadowed words are better imitations than read words, especially with extended voice onset times (VOTs). Presentation order influenced imitation judgments in Experiment 1 but not Experiment 2.

Area of Science:

  • Psycholinguistics
  • Speech Perception
  • Auditory Memory

Background:

  • Spontaneous imitation, or the unconscious mimicry of speech, is a common phenomenon.
  • Goldinger's (1998) AXB paradigm is a standard method for assessing speech imitation.
  • Previous research has explored factors influencing speech imitation, such as familiarity and acoustic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate spontaneous imitation of spoken words using Goldinger's AXB paradigm.
  • To examine the influence of presentation order and voice onset time (VOT) on speech imitation.
  • To determine if prior exposure to words affects imitation judgments.

Main Methods:

  • Replication of Goldinger's (1998) experiments using different speech tokens.
  • Experiment 1: AXB tests comparing shadowed (repeated) words and baseline (read) words.

  • Experiment 2: AXB tests with modified target tokens featuring extended VOTs, including VOT measurement of response tokens.

    • Main Results:

    • Shadowed words were more frequently judged as better imitations of target words than baseline words (above chance).
    • Presentation order of words in AXB tests significantly affected judgments in Experiment 1, but not in Experiment 2.
    • Extended VOTs in Experiment 2 led to greater differences in VOT between shadowed and baseline conditions, enhancing imitation effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Spontaneous imitation of spoken words occurs even in non-social, experimental settings.
    • Acoustic properties, like VOT, can modulate the degree of spontaneous speech imitation.
    • The findings contribute to understanding the mechanisms underlying auditory memory and speech perception.
