TL;DR: A lot more is to be learned about dichotic fusion and auditory segregation in speech stimuli, and what kinds of neural mechanisms it involves, and whether or not it is specific to phonetic perception are to be pursued.

TL;DR: It is found that the mere onset of an isolated, contralateral third-formant (F3) transition can be sufficient to cue the /da/-/ga/ distinction, and subjects’ tolerance of temporal asynchrony was about the same in dichotic and diotic conditions, suggesting that the temporal integration mechanism that combines phonetic information from the isolated F3 segment and the base operates similarly in both conditions.

TL;DR: This volume is largely the outcome of a conference held in honor of James J. Jenkins at the University of South Florida, Tampa, in January of 1987, with the original title of Speaking, Reading as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A model is suggested to account for the pattern of errors in dichotic listening: confusions are assumed to arise from nonspecific capacity limitations (�’perceptual noise’’), separately for each stimulus (hemisphere), and, at short SOAs, responses are assuming to be frequently assigned to the wrong channel.

TL;DR: The results suggest a sensory, rather than a judgmental, basis for the vowel contrast effects obtained, and suggest that contrast was as powerful from single formants as from the full vowels.
