Subject: Research methods questions (speech perception) From: Jing Shen <jinglan.shen@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2016 17:18:13 -0600 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--94eb2c07067ed5037c0542c9445b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Dear list, My research concerns the role of prosodic cues in speech perception in noise by older listeners. I have two methodological questions that I hope I can get some input from this great research community. 1. For my next project, I would like to use recorded sentences that are longer (>5 keywords) and syntactically more complex than IEEE sentences. Balanced lists, recording blocked by talker, and large number of sentences (>150) are preferred. I appreciate if anyone can direct me to any resource/information that is available. 2. My experiment also involves the design of degrading speech intelligibility while keeping changes on speech acoustic characteristics minimum (particularly voicing cues). I am considering vocoding and time-reversed speech for this purpose but also wondering what are other options that may preserve spectral/temporal features better. Many thanks in advance!
