Investigated interaction in speech perception between lexical knowledge and phonetic categorization, using sets of [bVC]–[dVC] place-of-articulation continua, constructed so that the endpoint tokens represented 4 word–nonword combinations. Three experiments were conducted with 14, 15, and 18 undergraduates, respectively. Exp I demonstrated that ambiguous tokens were perceived in favor of word tokens and supported the contention that lexical knowledge can affect the process of phonetic categorization. Exp II used an RT procedure with the same stimuli and demonstrated that the effect of lexical status on phonetic categorization increased with response latency. Exp III used a different set of [b–d] continua to separate the effects of final consonant contrast and lexical status that were confounded in Exps I and II. Results demonstrate that both lexical status and contextual contrast separately affected the identification of the initial stop. Collective data support a perceptual model wherein phonetic categorization can operate separately from higher levels of analysis.(37 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
