Intensity Ratios

A study was made of the effect of the presentation order of delay/synchronous (DAF/SAF) intensity ratios on tapping performance under simultaneously presented synchronous and delayed auditory feedback. Comparisons were made between performances of groups who received either primarily positive or primarily negative DAF/SAF ratios in random order. Additional comparisons were made between subjects who received serially presented DAF/SAF ratios in an ascending series and those who were given the same stimuli in a descending DAF/SAF ratio series. It was found that, when synchronous and delayed auditory feedback are presented simultaneously at various DAF/SAF ratios, the presentation order influences the degree of performance disruption. It is concluded that the results of studies involving the use of simultaneously presented SAF and DAF should be interpreted in light of the stimulus presentation order.

The Relationship

An experiment was conducted to examine the interrelationships between response-latency, perceived stimulus affect, and stimulus presentation order. Three groups of five Ss each responded to 100 pictorial and verbal stimuli along an ATTRACTIVE-UNATTRACTIVE affect dimension. Overt evaluative responses and response latencies were recorded on paper tape. The results indicated that the relationship between affect and response latency is an inverted U-shaped function with the attractive responses yielding significantly shorter latencies than either neutral or unattractive responses. The order in which stimuli are presented significantly affects both perceived affect and response times. A random order of stimulus presentation results in shorter latencies and greater perceived positive affect than the systematic arrangement of stimuli.

Tone Discrimination

Purpose Theoretical models and substantial research have proposed that general auditory sensitivity is a developmental foundation for speech perception and language acquisition. Nonetheless, controversies exist about the effectiveness of general auditory training in improving speech and language skills. This research investigated the relationships among general auditory sensitivity, phonemic speech perception, and word-level speech perception via the examination of pitch and lexical tone perception in children. Method Forty-eight typically developing 4- to 6-year-old Cantonese-speaking children were tested on the discrimination of the pitch patterns of lexical tones in synthetic stimuli, discrimination of naturally produced lexical tones, and identification of lexical tone in familiar words. Results The findings revealed that accurate lexical tone discrimination and identification did not necessarily entail the accurate discrimination of nonlinguistic stimuli that followed the pitch levels and pitch shapes of lexical tones. Although pitch discrimination and tone discrimination abilities were strongly correlated, accuracy in pitch discrimination was lower than that in tone discrimination, and nonspeech pitch discrimination ability did not precede linguistic tone discrimination in the developmental trajectory. Conclusions Contradicting the theoretical models, the findings of this study suggest that general auditory sensitivity and speech perception may not be causally or hierarchically related. The finding that accuracy in pitch discrimination is lower than that in tone discrimination suggests that comparable nonlinguistic auditory perceptual ability may not be necessary for accurate speech perception and language learning. The results cast doubt on the use of nonlinguistic auditory perceptual training to improve children's speech, language, and literacy abilities.
