Area of Science:

  • Auditory Neuroscience
  • Speech Perception
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Listeners often rely on specific cues for lexical stress, like vowel quality in English and fundamental frequency (F0) in Dutch.
  • Non-native language listeners typically apply their native language's cue-weighting strategies.
  • Cochlear implant (CI) users may perceive stress cues differently in degraded speech.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if degraded speech perception affects how listeners weight lexical stress cues.
  • To examine cue weighting in native and non-native languages under simulated cochlear implant conditions.
  • To test if CI simulation alters established cue-weighting strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Native Dutch speakers learning English identified lexical stress in Dutch and English words.
  • Stimuli included spectro-temporally degraded (CI-simulated) and non-degraded speech.
  • Words contained variations in F0 contour and vowel quality as stress cues.

Main Results:

  • Lexical stress cue weighting was unaffected by speech degradation in both native and non-native languages.
  • Listeners did not alter their cue-weighting strategies despite simulated cochlear implant conditions.
  • Perceptibility of cues in degraded speech did not influence cue weighting.

Conclusions:

  • Cue weighting for lexical stress is robust and not dictated by cue perceptibility in degraded speech.
  • Listeners flexibly transfer and adapt cue-weighting strategies, independent of signal quality.
  • Findings challenge previous assumptions about the impact of auditory degradation on linguistic cue processing.
