Abstract
Logistic functions relating abilities to indentify syllable onsets, nuclei, and codas in quiet and noise as a function of snr are measured. Syllable perception is the product of these individual abilities. It is found that syllable perception in noise is highly correlated with syllable perception quiet. The relation of sentence perception in the SPATS sentence task with SPATS syllable constituent perception is examined. As shown years ago at the Bell Labs, only modest levels of syllable identification are needed to support nearly perfect levels of sentence perception. Here, it is found that sentence perception in quiet and noise is correlated with syllable perception in quiet, the use of inherent context provided by syllable perception (Boothroyd and Nittrauer (1988)), and with the use of situational context, independent of syllable perception. Finally, the effects of speech perception training on these relations are examined for each of the ten hearing-aid users studied. [Work supported by NIH/NICD Grant...
