Abstract:In a series of behavioral experiments rats were trained to discriminate between synthetic vowels characterized by an increase in fundamental frequency correlated with an upward shift in formant frequencies. The results demonstrate that rats are able to generalize the discrimination to new instances of the same vowels and that the performance depended on the relation between fundamental and formant frequencies that they had previously been exposed to. Simulation results using artificial neural networks could re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
