Abstract
The categorization of speech sounds into phonetic units has been characterized as involving the differential weighting of perceptual cues. Cue weighting has been often explicitly or implicitly associated with the construct of selective attention. We will present data from speech and non‐speech categorization studies that attempt to illuminate the factors that influence relative weighting of perceptual dimensions. Of particular interest is the role of variability across the different auditory dimensions. The results of these experiments will be related to work on cue weighting in other psychophysical tasks and the usefulness of the attention construct will be explored.
