Abstract
Selective adaptation experiments were conducted to test for the presence of a mechanism that mediates an aspect of both speech perception and speech production. Ss were instructed to utter /i/ or /bi/ after listening to repetitions of either of these syllables or to repetitions of the vowel /i/. Analysis of the utterances showed that a timing relation which distinguishes /pi/from /bi/, namely the latency in onset of voicing relative to the release burst of the consonant, varied systematically for the /pi/ utterances but not for the /bi/ utterances as a function of the speech input. The effect for the /pi/ utterances was shown not to be attributable to factors such as compensation for distorted perception of the /pi/ adapting stimulus or voluntary mimicry of this stimulus.

315 Citations1974Kenneth N. Stevens, Dennis H. Klatt
The experiments with synthetic speech compare the role of VOT and the presence or absence of a significant formant transition following voicing onset as cues for the voiced‐voiceless distinction and indicate that there is a significant trading relationship between these two cues.

A series of experiments investigated some of the properties of the linguistic feature detectors that mediate the perception of the voiced and voiceless stop consonants, revealing that these detectors are centrally rather than peripherally located and part of the specialized speech processor.

A series of experiments was conducted to determine the effects of selective adaptation on the perception of linguistic feature contrasts, and it was found that a significant adaptation effect could be obtained for the feature place, as measured by both identification and discrimination responses.

Experiments in perceptuo-motor adaptation provide fairly direct evidence favouring the existence of a mechanism that processes information about individual phonetic features of consonants, rather than processing these consonants as integral units.

The selective adaptation method was used to investigate the location of speech‐related property detectors in the brain and results are interpreted as showing that some component of speech processing may be performed on both sides of the brain, and that some part is performed after the point of binaural fusion.
