초록
According to the literature on speech perception, laboratory training may improve the perception of non-native phone contrast. The present work investigates both whether laboratory training improves Korean listeners’ perception on 10 American English fricatives and affricates and whether post-training improvement persists at least three months. Seriously considered in the training protocol was how to optimize training and testing conditions and how to minimize the size of training phones. The former question was addressed by using naturally spoken novel stimuli by multiple talkers separately for training and testing. To address the latter problem, an adaptive training protocol was proposed to minimize the number of training stimuli and time while still achieving at least comparable post-training improvement. Post-training results showed that the proposed optimized training protocol was quite effective. Furthermore, post-training improvement persisted at least three months. This suggests that variant optimized adaptive training protocols may also be worth trying to test whether they may achieve maximal or at least comparable post-training improvement without sacrificing post-training improvement and long-term maintenance.
Abstract
According to the literature on speech perception, laboratory training may improve the perception of non-native phone contrast. The present work investigates both whether laboratory training improves Korean listeners’ perception on 10 American English fricatives and affricates and whether post-training improvement persists at least three months. Seriously considered in the training protocol was how to optimize training and testing conditions and how to minimize the size of training phones. The former question was addressed by using naturally spoken novel stimuli by multiple talkers separately for training and testing. To address the latter problem, an adaptive training protocol was proposed to minimize the number of training stimuli and time while still achieving at least comparable post-training improvement. Post-training results showed that the proposed optimized training protocol was quite effective. Furthermore, post-training improvement persisted at least three months. This suggests that variant optimized adaptive training protocols may also be worth trying to test whether they may achieve maximal or at least comparable post-training improvement without sacrificing post-training improvement and long-term maintenance.
