Subject: Phoneme categorization in noise From: Daniela Sammler <sammler@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:00:08 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear list, I need to increase the difficulty of a phoneme categorization task (e.g. "ba" vs "pa"). One possibility would be to present the phonemes in noise to receive a shallower psychometric function. Is this the way to go or is there any other/better way to increase difficulty in phoneme categorization? Thank you very much!
