Noncategorical perception of stop consonants differing in VOT
Abstract
The discriminability of bilabial stop consonants differing in VOT (the Abramson–Lisker bilabial series) was measured in a same–different task, an oddity task, and a dual response, discrimination–identification task. Subjects showed excellent within-category discrimination in all three tasks after a moderate amount of training in a same–different task with a fixed standard and with feedback. In addition, discrimination performance continuously improved with increasing stimulus difference for both intra- and intercategory comparisons. Also, subjects were able to alter their identification responses so that well-defined category boundaries fell at arbitrary values determined by the experimenters. These results are not compatible with a strict interpretation of the categorical perception of stop consonants.

Adult performance on non-native contrasts can be increased by techniques that minimize memory effects, extensive training, and use of contrasts not related to native-language categories.
“Adult performance on non-native contrasts could be increased by a number of factors: (i) the use of techniques that minimize the effects of memory (33, 34), (ii) extensive training (35, 36), and (iii) the use of contrasts, such as Zulu clicks, that are not related to native-language categories (37, 38).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
