视觉方面的研究表明，视觉系统可以诱导对虚幻轮廓的感知。在这项研究中，我们记录了听觉模式中的类似现象：说日语的人报告说感知到了声音信号中没有的元音。这种错觉是因为在日语中，辅音是不允许连续的。因此，语言系统在相邻的元音之间插入一个虚幻的元音，以符合该语言中预期的模式。在这里，我们操纵包含非法辅音簇的非单词的词汇邻域，并表明这种错觉不是由于词汇影响。相反，它是在词汇知识被激活之前出现的，这表明语音在非常早期的加工阶段就影响了知觉程序。
Studies in vision have demonstrated that the visual system can induce the perception of illusory contours. In this study we document a similar phenomenon in the auditory mode: Japanese speakers report perceiving vowels that are absent in the acoustic signal. Such an illusion is due to the fact that in Japanese, succession of consonants are not allowed. Hence the linguistic system inserts an illusory vowel between adjacent vowels in order to conform to the expected pattern in this language. Here, we manipulate the lexical neighborhood of nonwords that contain illegal consonant clusters and show that this illusion is not due to lexical influence. Rather, it arises before lexical knowledge is activated, suggesting that phonotactics impact perception routines at a very early processing stage.
