Abstract
Speech perception requires multiple acoustic cues. Cue weighting may differ across individuals but be systematic within individuals. The current study compared individuals' cue weights within and across contrasts. Forty-two listeners performed a two-alternative forced choice task for four out of five sets of minimal pairs, each varying orthogonally in two dimensions. Individuals' cue weights within a contrast were positively correlated for bet-bat, Luce-lose, and sock-shock, but not for bog-dog and dear-tear. Importantly, individuals' cue weights were also positively correlated across contrasts. This indicates that some individuals are better able to extract and use phonetic information across different dimensions.
