Influence of hearing loss on the perceptual strategies of children and adults

摘要: To accommodate growing vocabularies, young children are thought to modify their perceptual weights as they gain experience with speech and language. The purpose of the present study was determine whether adults hearing loss differ from those normal-hearing counterparts. Adults normal served participants. Fricative vowel segments within consonant-vowel-consonant stimuli were presented at randomly selected levels under two conditions: unaltered formant transition removed. Overall performance for each group calculated a function segment level. Perceptual also using point-biserial correlation coefficients that relate level performance. Results revealed child-adult differences in overall an effect loss. Despite these differences, pattern wa...
