The roles of voice onset time and F0 in stop consonant voicing perception: Effects of masking noise and low-pass filtering

摘要

PurposeThe contributions of voice onset time (VOT) and fundamental frequency (F0) were evaluated for the perception of voicing in syllable-initial stop consonants in words that were low-pass filtered and/or masked by speech-shaped noise. It was expected that listeners would rely less on VOT and more on F0 in these degraded conditions.
