{"pk":33032,"title":"Modeling the Perception of Spoken Words","subtitle":null,"abstract":"e present a new distributed connectionist model of the\nperception of spoken words. The model employs an internal\nrepresentation of speech that combines lexical information\nwith abstract phonological information. W e show how a\nsingle distributed representation of this type can form the\nbasis for the perception of words and nonwords alike. The\nmodel is tested against lexical and phonetic decision data\nfrom Marslen-Wilson and Warren (1994). These\nexperiments examined the integration of cues to place of\narticulation diuing lexical access and showed a pattern of\nresults which proved difficult to accommodate in previous\nmodels. The use of a single, late, phonological\nrepresentation allows this pattern of results to be simulated\nand has the potential to incorporate many other properties of\nthe human system.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"17","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8c71x0v2","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"M.","middle_name":"Gareth","last_name":"Gaskell","name_suffix":"","institution":"Birkbeck College","department":""},{"first_name":"William","middle_name":"D .","last_name":"Marslen-Wilson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Birkbeck College","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1995-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33032/galley/24094/download/"}]}
