Perceptual restoration of a “missing” speech sound: Auditory induction or illusion?

Abstract: This study investigated whether the apparent completeness of the acoustic speech signal during phonemic restoration derives from a process of auditory induction (Warren, 1984) or segregation, or whether it is an auditory illusion that accompanies the completion of an abstract phonological representation. Specifically,five experiments tested the prediction of the auditory induction (segregation) hypothesis that active perceptual restoration of an [s] noise that has been replaced with an extraneous noise would … Show more

“…Reduced sensitivity has been observed for the presence or absence of phonemes and tones masked by noise when they were incorporated in words and chords, respectively (DeWitt & Samuel, 1990;Samuel, 1981). This explanation implies that listeners respond to a more abstract sense of grouping in the stimulus, rather than comparing stimuli in terms of exactly how long the IOIs were heard, which is similar to Repp's (1992a) interpretation that, in phonemic restoration, the restored phonemes are not necessarily "heard" as sounds but their mental representations are activated.…”

“…He hypothesized that no reallocation of auditory input from extraneous noise to speech occurs when speech is restored (although he believes that such reallocation does occur with nonverbal induction). Since all of the prior studies dealing with phonemic restorations were concerned with changes involving the speech signal and not the noise, Repp (1992) attempted to determine whether or not perceptual changes occurred in the noise. He replaced the phoneme lsi in a word with a noise having a different spectral proftle from that of the hiss corresponding to the pho- neme, and investigated whether or not listeners heard a change in the timbre or brightness (not the loudness) of the interpolated noise when it was used to restore the /s/.…”

“…Our method subscribes to the latter approach, also referred to as 'filling-in', which emphasizes the signal detection strategy followed in cases where a listener classification is inconsistent with the token absence in a gap 3,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] . As has been noted 30 , from the listener's utilitarian perspective, this effect of induction in a challenging environment is not aimed at the production of decision errors (or illusions) but to assist against masking. Restoration refers to the perception .…”
