Errors on cues for consonant identification on auditory and visual word-recognition tasks. 1996

L Berryman, and J Dancer, and S Drummond

University of Arkansas at Little Rock, USA.

For 9 women and 9 men undergraduates the proportion of voice, place of articulation, and manner of articulation errors were significantly different on an auditory word-in-noise task but not on a visual word-discrimination task. Results are most surprising for the visual condition, since voice cues are considered the least visible of the three cues for identification of consonants.
