Research suggests that individuals differ in the degree to which they rely on lexical information to support speech perception. However, the locus of these differences is not yet known; nor is it known whether these individual differences reflect a context-dependent "state" or a stable listener "trait." Here we test the hypothesis that individual differences in lexical reliance are a stable trait that is linked to individuals' relative weighting of lexical and acoustic-phonetic information for speech perception. At each of two sessions, listeners (n = 73) completed a Ganong task, a phonemic restoration task, and a locally time-reversed speech task - three tasks that have been used to demonstrate a lexical influence on speech perception. Robust lexical effects on speech perception were observed for each task in the aggregate. Individual differences in lexical reliance were stable across sessions; however, relationships among the three tasks in each session were weak. For the Ganong and locally time-reversed speech tasks, increased reliance on lexical information was associated with weaker reliance on acoustic-phonetic information. Collectively, these results (1) provide some evidence to suggest that individual differences in lexical reliance for a given task are a stable reflection of the relative weighting of acoustic-phonetic and lexical cues for speech perception in that task, and (2) highlight the need for a better understanding of the psychometric characteristics of tasks used in the psycholinguistic domain to build theories that can accommodate individual differences in mapping speech to meaning.
