computer produces a sound with a VOT of 65 ms, listeners are likely to report hearing _____.- Ata
- Bda
2The McGurk effect illustrates the importance of _____ on speech perception.
- Avision
- Bsound
- Cvision and sound
3The existence of phonetic boundaries has been demonstrated using discrimination experiments
- ATrue
- BFalse
4The ubiquitous "Whazzup!" is a sloppy pronunciation of "What's up?" The spectrograms of each of these two spoken phrases would indicate major differences between the two, especially in the middle of the spectrograms
- ATrue
- BFalse
5The overlap between the production of neighboring phonemes is called _____.
- Acoarticulation
- Barticulation
- Cnone of the above
6When you say "bat" and "boot," the /b/ sound is articulated differently. This is an example of
coarticulation- ATrue
- BFalse
7There are _____ phonemes for vowel sounds in the English language.
- A11
- B10
- C12
- D13
8The McGurk effect is most similar to ventriloquists
- ATrue
- BFalse
9Jessica looks at Ashlee on a videotape. Ashlee's lips are making the movement for the sound /fa-fa/, but the sound that is actually presented is the acoustic signal for /ba-ba/. What sound is Jessica most likely to report hearing?
- Aba-ba
- Bfa-fa
- Cta-ta
10Research using fMRI has found that, although _____ is activated when paying attention to the sounds of familiar voices, it is NOT activated when paying attention to the sounds of unfamiliar voices.
- AFFA
- BSTI
- CSTS
- DPFC
11Rubin et al. (1976) asked participants to respond when they heard a word that started with the /b/ sound. The average response time when real words were used was _____; and _____ when non-words were used.
- A580 msec; 631 msec
- B631 msec; 580 msec
12Your ability to read the sentence "HV A NC D*Y" is used as an example of the importance of _____.
- Atop down processing
- Bbottom up processing
13Miller and Isard presented listeners with grammatical sentences ("Gadgets simplify work around the house"); ungrammatical word strings ("Between gadgets highways passengers the steal"), and anomalous sentences ("Gadgets kill passengers from the eyes"). The results showed that the listener's ability to accurately report the phrase was highest for the grammatical condition, followed by anomalous, and then ungrammatical
- ATrue
- BFalse
14Samuel (1990) demonstrated top-down processing by showing that _____ words increase the likelihood of the phonemic restoration effect.
- Alonger
- Bshorter
15A fan of science fiction television shows would be more likely to make sense of the phrase "Start Wreck In Tore Prize." This demonstrates the importance of meaning on segmentation.
- ATrue
- BFalse
16Saffran et al. (1996) found that eight-month-old infants listened to _____ test stimuli longer, providing evidence that infants are capable of _____ learning.
- Apart word ; statistical
- Bfull word; statistical
17Nose vocoded speech is created by dividing the speech signal up into different frequency bands and then adding noise to each
band.- ATrue
- BFalse
18Matthew Davis and coworkers (2005) tested subjects to determine their ability to perceive degraded speech and found that higher level information can help in understanding degraded speech
- ATrue
- BFalse
19Damage to Broca's area in the frontal lobe results in slow, labored speech with jumbled sentence order
- ATrue
- BFalse
20A person with Wernicke's aphasia produces fluent but incoherent speech
- ATrue
- BFalse
21Micelli et al. (1980) found that brain damage to the parietal lobe caused the patient to have difficulty discriminating between syllables. In addition, Micelli et al. found that some of these patients could still understand words
- ATrue
- BFalse
22Alessandro D'Ausilio and coworkers (2009) demonstrated a link between production and perception by showing that stimulation of motor areas associated with the lip resulted in
- Abetter perception of labial sounds
- Bpoorer perception of labial sounds
23The discovery of audiovisual mirror neurons is used as support for the motor theory of speech perception.
- ATrue
- BFalse
24What is the ventral stream - where is the dorsal stream
- ATrue
- BFalse
25Using fMRI, Belin et al., (2000) were able to reveal that, in humans, the superior temporal sulcus (STS) is activated more for human voices than for other sounds
- ATrue
- BFalse
26 lack of invariance, refers to the fact that there is no simple relationship between a particular phoneme and the acoustic signal.
- ATrue
- BFalse
27The effect that occurs in speech perception when listeners perceive a phoneme in a word even though the acoustic signal of that phoneme is obscured by another sound, such as white noise or a cough.
- APhonemic restoration effect
- BPhonemic degradation effect
28The perception of individual words in a conversation is called speech segmentation.
- ATrue
- BFalse
29An area in the temporal lobe involved in speech perception. Damage to this area causes Wernicke’s aphasia, which is characterized by difficulty in understanding speech.
- AWernickes Area
- BWernickes Lobe
30When Broca tested patients who had suffered strokes that damaged their frontal lobe, in an area that came to be called Broca’s area, he found that their speech was slow and labored and often had jumbled sentence structure
- ATrue
- BFalse
31Dual-stream model of speech perception
Model that proposes a ventral stream starting in the temporal lobe that is responsible for recognizing speech, and a dorsal stream starting in the parietal lobe that is responsible for linking the acoustic signal to the movements used to produce speech. (13)- ATrue
- BFalse
