And I=E2=80=99m speaking as someone who has gone on record criticizing phonetic information transfer in general. Mathias Sharinger and others have demonstrated that phonological features are indeed represented in the brain, in ways that cannot be explained purely by auditory or phonetic processing. So the idea that linguistic(/distinctive) features should be retired seems to ignore the advances made in understanding how we process speech. Even for thoe of us interested in consonant errors, decades of work using Information Transfer Analysis has demonstrated that consonant errors cluster in groups consistent with their phonetic features. Jont=E2= =80=99s work corroborates this as well, to some extent. This might be a good time to simply recognize that different experimenters can be addressing different kinds of questions =E2=80=93 not just how noise= creates intelligibility errors. For example: -- the integration of multiple acoustic cues, the timecourse of their integration -- the speed with which cues activate or suppress lexical networks -- how phonetic categories are formed through experience -- how phonetic processing (not just intelligibility) is dependent on signal quality, bandwidth, noise, etc. -- how different degradations yield different kinds of errors -- how auditory cues are moderated by non-auditory cues (like visual cues as well as linguistic context and sociolinguistic cues) -- how basic auditory (pitch, spatial, contrast enhancement, etc.) processing supports access to linguistic information And finally=E2=80=A6. -- the extent to which consonant confusions for isolated syllables with predictable vowels does or does not reflect real-world communication, or even reflects the *information* that is contained within everyday speech signals. =E2=80=A6 and these are just a few topics that come to mind even without a literature search; I am certainly leaving out a host of other noteworthy ideas that explore phonetic perception. So I suppose it might be acceptable to recognize SINFA and other approaches as worthwhile even if they do not suit our specific needs.

Since 1973 we have learned a great deal about phone identification by normal and hearing impaired listeners. Bob Bilger was a good friend, and his work represented an important stepping stone along the path toward building realistic and correct understanding of human speech processing. But today, in my view, SINFA is not a viable way to analyze human speech errors. One of the problems with the 1973 analysis was due to the limitations of computers in 1973. All the responses were averaged over the two main effects, tokens and SNR. This renders the results uninterperateable. Please share with us your thoughts on what the best methods are today, given what we now know. And I would be happy to do the same. My view: I would suggest you look at the alternatives, such as confusion patterns, which is a row of a confusion matrix, as a function of SNR, and most importantly, go down to the token level. It is time to give up on distinctive features. They are a production concept, great at classifying different types of speech productions, but they do not properly get at what human listeners do, especially those with hearing loss, when reporting individual consonants. Bilger and Wang make these points in their HSHR article. They emphasize individual differences of HI listeners (p 737), and the secondary role of distinctive features (p. 724) and of hearing level (p 737). I do not think that multidimentional scaling can give the answers to these questions, as it only works for a limited number of dimensions (2 or 3). Actual confusion data, as a function of SNR, are too complex for a 2-3 dimension analysis. Here are some pointers I suggest you consider, that describe how humans decode CV sounds as a function of the SNR. The Singh analysis explains why and how the articulation index (AI) works. The Trevino article shows the very large differences in consonant perception in impaired ears. Hearing loss leads to large individual differences, that are uncorrelated to hearing thresholds.
