Little is known about the processes underlying the nonlinear relationship between acoustics and speech perception. In Exp 1, the effects of systematic variation of a single acoustic parameter (silent gap duration between a natural utterance of s and a synthetic vowel ay) on judgments of speech category were explored. The resulting shifts in category boundary between say and stay showed rich dynamics, including hysteresis, contrast, and critical boundary effects. A dynamical model is proposed to account for the observed patterns. Exp 2 evaluated 1 prediction of the model, that changing the relative stability of the 2 percepts allows categorical switching. In agreement with the model, an increase in the number of stimulus repetitions maximized the frequency of judgments of category change near the boundary. Thus, a dynamical approach affords the rudiments for a theory of the effects of temporal context on speech categorization.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
