Processing of phonemes in speech: a speed-accuracy study

R Remington

    The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study reveals that phonemes within a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) syllable are processed simultaneously, not sequentially. This finding impacts speech perception models by suggesting parallel information accrual for syllable elements.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psycholinguistics
    • Speech Science

    Background:

    • Understanding how humans process spoken language is crucial.
    • Previous models debated serial versus parallel phoneme processing within syllables.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether phonemes in a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) syllable are processed serially or in parallel.
    • To determine the temporal dynamics of phoneme information accrual during speech perception.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects performed same/different judgments on successive CVC syllables.
    • A tone cue, presented at varying times and sometimes interrupting the second syllable, signaled the judgment.
    • Accuracy was analyzed as a function of cue timing for discriminations involving the first, second, and third phonemes.

    Main Results:

    • Information about individual phonemes within a CVC syllable accrues simultaneously.
    • Processing is not strictly serial; phoneme information is available in parallel.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support parallel processing models of speech perception.
    • Simultaneous phoneme information accrual challenges theories requiring sequential processing of syllable components.
