“…Informal analyses of the results suggested, however, that labial consonants were more distinctive at closure than were alveolar or velar ones, and that alveolar and velar stops were less well discriminated from each other. These findings are consistent with results obtained by Pols and Schouten (1981) for Dutch listeners in a study using gated nonwords, and they need to be more systematically investigated in the domain of lexical choice. How far do these very finegrained differences in the acoustic signaling of different places of articulation percolate through to the lexical level?…”

“…The last 2 msec of each gatewas windowed to produce an accelerating attenuation that eliminated audible clicks (cf. Ohde & Sharf, 1981;Pols & Schouten, 1981).…”

“…However, it is fairly unlikely that initial consonants would be significantly more identifiable than final ones as a result of the short and rapidly varying formant transition only. The data generated in speech experiments depend to a large degree on methodological factors, such as segmentation procedure and the presence or absence of noise (Pols & Schouten, 1978, 1981. The perceptual asymmetry between initial and final formant transitions observed in other studies does not necessarily stand in contradiction to the results of this study; rather it is not anticipated to occur in a carefully balanced laboratory experiment.…”

“…However, from the literature it is difficult to draw solid conclusions with respect to a possible perceptual asymmetry between CV and VC syllables in speech. Several speech experiments have shown VC transitions to be more consonant-specific than CV ones (e.g., Ohde & Sharf, 1977;Pols, 1979;Sharf & Hemeyer, 1972), although other studies show either just the opposite (e.g., Dorman, Studdert-Kennedy, & Raphael, 1977), or even a lack of asymmetry (Pols & Schouten, 1978, 1981. It is often argued that listeners may learn to depend more on VC transitions than on other consonantal cues, because plosives are often not released in final position.…”

“…For plosive pairs, some of the gates spanning the closure were omitted, as they added only silence. The last 2 msec of each gate was windowed to produce an accelerating attenuation that eliminated audible clicks (see Ohde & Sharf, 1981;Pols & Schouten, 1981).…”
