“…These effects were similar to those observed with speech stimuli (Eimas & Corbit, 1973) both in direction and degree of shift. Moreover, as in the case of speech stimuli, adaptation shifts for the sawtooth stimuli were greatest when the adapting stimulus shared all dimensions with the test continuum.…”

“…Cole and Scott (l972b). and Eimas (1972) reported direct evidence for phoneme feature detectors. These studies demonstrated that repeated presentation of a consonant phoneme (paired with .a) caused individual features to satiate.…”

“…Acoustic-to-phonetic category mapping proceeds normally during the unaltered feedback session, producing a certain proportion of "she" responses in response to changes in the frequency of the fricative while the context remains relatively constant (though repeated presentation or production of a sound may also alter perception; Eimas and Corbit, 1973;Shiller et al, 2009). Introducing the altered feedback during the production task alters the relationship between a given articulatory trajectory and its acoustic outcome, and adaptation reflects a stabilization of this shifted mapping (Purcell and Munhall, 2006).…”

A given speech sound will be realized differently depending on the context in which it is produced. Listeners have been found to compensate perceptually for these coarticulatory effects, yet it is unclear to what extent this effect depends on actual production experience. In this study, whether changes in motor-to-sound mappings induced by adaptation to altered auditory feedback can affect perceptual compensation for coarticulation is investigated. Specifically, whether altering how the vowel [i] is produced can affect the categorization of a stimulus continuum between an alveolar and a palatal fricative whose interpretation is dependent on vocalic context is tested. It was found that participants could be sorted into three groups based on whether they tended to oppose the direction of the shifted auditory feedback, to follow it, or a mixture of the two, and that these articulatory responses, not the shifted feedback the participants heard, correlated with changes in perception. These results indicate that sensorimotor adaptation to altered feedback can affect the perception of unaltered yet coarticulatorily-dependent speech sounds, suggesting a modulatory role of sensorimotor experience on speech perception.
