Extracted text: Often extraneous noise interferes with our ability to hear all the sounds in a stream of speech. If a brief burst of noise prevents a phoneme from being heard (e.g., "His *cough* -ame is Barry"), what is most likely to occur? O A. The listener will not understand the sentence. O B. The listener will be able to understand the sentence and will probably not notice that the burst of noise occurred. O C. The listener will be able to understand the sentence, will realize that a burst of noise occurred, but probably will not know where the burst occurred. O D. The listener will be able to understand the sentence, will realize that a burst of noise occurred, and will likely know exactly which phoneme was missing.

Question 8 of 45 A researcher creates a series of synthetic speech sounds gradually ranging, in uniformly small steps, from a "ta" sound at one extreme to a "da" sound at the other extreme. Participants are asked to identify each of these sounds. The researcher should expect to find that: O A. as the sounds gradually shift from "ta" to "da," participants' pattern of responding also gradually shifts from "ta" to "da." O B. participants identify sounds close to "ta" as "da" instead, and similarly identify sounds close to "da" as "ta" instead. O C. participants' identification of the sounds midway between a standard "ta" and a standard "da" is heavily influenced by the identity of the sound they heard just previously. O D. participants' perceptions of the sounds show an abrupt transition, with all of the sounds closer to "ta" clearly identified as "ta" and all of the sounds closer to "da" clearly identified as "da."
