美国本土英语和非本土英语（荷兰）听众在所有可能的美式英语CV和VC音节中识别辅音或元音。这些音节以三种信噪比（0、8和16 dB）嵌入多说话人的咿呀学语中。非母语听者的音素识别准确率低于母语听者。所有的听众都受到噪音的不利影响。由于这些孤立的音节，初始音段比最终音段更难识别。关键是，语言背景和噪音的影响并不相互作用；在信噪比上，土著和非土著群体的表现不对称没有显著差异。结论是，在不利条件下，经常报告的非母语听力不成比例的困难并非由于音素错误识别的不成比例增加。(C) 2004美国声学学会。
Native American English and non-native (Dutch) listeners identified either the consonant or the vowel in all possible American English CV and VC syllables. The syllables were embedded in multispeaker babble at three signal-to-noise ratios (0, 8, and 16 dB). The phoneme identification performance of the non-native listeners was less accurate than that of the native listeners. All listeners were adversely affected by noise. With these isolated syllables, initial segments were harder to identify than final segments. Crucially, the effects of language background and noise did not interact; the performance asymmetry between the native and non-native groups was not significantly different across signal-to-noise ratios. It is concluded that the frequently reported disproportionate difficulty of non-native listening under disadvantageous conditions is not due to a disproportionate increase in phoneme misidentifications.
