A cross-language study of compensation in response to real-time formant perturbation

Abstract: Past studies have shown that when formants are perturbed in real time, speakers spontaneously compensate for the perturbation by changing their formant frequencies in the opposite direction to the perturbation. Further, the pattern of these results suggests that the processing of auditory feedback error operates at a purely acoustic level. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the response of three language groups to real-time formant perturbations, (1) native English speakers producing an English vowel /e/,… Show more

“…Although the sample size in the current study is much larger than that of Max and Maffett (2015), the number of participants per condition in the current experiment was comparable to that of previous studies that used the same formant perturbation technique (MacDonald et al, 2010Munhall et al, 2009;Mitsuya et al, 2011Mitsuya et al, , 2013Mitsuya et al, , 2015Mitsuya and Purcell, 2016). Because there is a large difference in formant values across sexes, only female speakers were included in order (1) to keep the variability of formants small, and (2) to have the perceptual consequence of formant perturbation similar across participants.…”

“…What exactly is the phonetic target, and what is required for the error feedback system to detect an error in the acoustics of a sound that has just been spoken? Although Mitsuya et al (2011) suggest that the target reflects the phonemic category of the speech segment, their results might have been unique to (1) compensatory production of F1 and to (2) the language groups contrasted (English versus Japanese). To further understand the nature and parameters of phonemic processes on compensatory formant production and its mechanism, the current study (1) examined compensatory production of F2 and (2) contrasted different language groups (English versus French).…”

“…That is, for English speakers, both increased and decreased F1 feedback may have resulted in a comparable perceptual change from the intended vowel, which in turn, elicited a comparable amount of compensation. For Japanese speakers, however, the vowel found in "had" is unstable both perceptually (Strange et al, 1998;Strange et al, 2001) and productively (Lambancher et al, 2005;Mitsuya et al, 2011). Therefore when perturbation sounded more like "had," the sound might have been heard as an acceptable instance of the intended vowel for "head."…”

“…Prior to exposure to altered auditory feedback, participants have a relatively stable mapping between a certain vocal tract state and a certain sensory target, such as a vowel (Mitsuya et al, 2011;Niziolek and Guenther, 2013;Reilly and Dougherty, 2013). When attempting to produce the specific vowel, the participant initiates a motor sequence and compares their expectations of the intended sound to auditory feedback (Houde and Nagarajan, 2011), which may lead to swift articulatory adjustments if the vowel is off-target .…”
