INTERACTIONS BETWEEN UNSUPERVISED LEARNING AND THE DEGREE OF SPECTRAL MISMATCH ON SHORT-TERM PERCEPTUAL ADAPTATION TO SPECTRALLY-SHIFTED SPEECH

摘要

ObjectivesCochlear implant listeners are able to at least partially adapt to the spectral mismatch associated with the implant device and speech processor via daily exposure and/or explicit training. The overall goal of this study was to investigate interactions between short-term unsupervised learning (i.e., passive adaptation) and the degree of spectral mismatch in normal-hearing listeners’ adaptation to spectrally-shifted vowels.
