Selective adaptation for acoustic cues of voicing in initial stops
TLDR
The authors found that the adaptation effects are partly attributable to the presence or absence of the formant transitions after voicing onset, rather than to VOT per se, and the present results may be attributable to adaptation of a detector sensitive to a weighted combination of the two hypothetical cues of VOT and the duration of voiced transitions.About:

The case against a speech mode of perception.
TL;DR: It is concluded that speech and non-speech auditory stimuli are probably perceived in the same way.

The contribution of fundamental frequency and voice onset time to the /zi/‐/si/ distinction
TL;DR: Functional measurement was utilized to study the acoustic cues that contribute to the perception of the voicing difference in /zi/ and /si/.

Categorical perception of nonspeech sounds by 2-month-old infants
Peter W. Jusczyk,Burton S. Rosner,James E. Cutting,James E. Cutting,Christopher F. Foard,Linda B. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: The authors used high-amplitude sucking technique to explore the 2-month-old infant's perception of rise-time differences for sawtooth stimuli and found that infants, like adults, can perceive nonspeech stimuli in a categorical manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation and contrast in the perception of voicing.
TL;DR: Results of these experiments indicate that neither response contrast nor phonetic feature detection are involved in selective adaptation effects found for a voicing stop-consonant series, supporting the position that selective adaptation results arise at an early, auditory level of processing that is responsive to the spectral overlap between adaptor and test items.

The discrimination of speech sounds within and across phoneme boundaries.
TL;DR: Whether or not, with similar acoustic differences, a listener can better discriminate betweenSounds that lie on opposite sides of a phoneme boundary than he can between sounds that fall within the same phoneme category is examined.

Selective adaptation of linguistic feature detectors
Peter D. Eimas,John D. Corbit +1 more
TL;DR: The authors used a selective adaptation procedure to obtain evidence for the existence of linguistic feature detectors analogous to visual feature detectors, which are each sensitive to a restricted range of voice onset times, the physical continuum underlying the perceived phonetic distinctions between voiced and voiceless stop consonants.
