Document Summary
Processing that involves the use of knowledge obtained form higher level sources. High level phonological knowledge can nfluence how we perceive speech. The acoustic signal alone is often not enough. Nine spliced out of predictable contet is unintellegable. If its predictable they hear the missing sound. If they tell there was a replaced sound, they cant tell which one it was. Measure how much onset need to hear before recgnizinf thr word. Recognition point - earliest gate at which the participnats pics the correct repnse and maintain it for the rest of the trials. Longer and longer accoustic tokens until u can recognize it. Context affecting perception and affecting ability yo judge. How well does the mode account for existing experiemntal findings. Is the repsetation depicted in the model an intuitively plausible one. Does the model make predictions that are not in fact borne out by availble empirical evidence. Hear s - activates everything that starts with s.
