Having just heard clear speech can make an otherwise unintelligible vocoded version understood

Evidence

A standard trial consisted of a first presentation (snippet a ) in which the speech was degraded using noise-vocoding as previously described. Therefore it was largely unintelligible. The second snippet (snippet b ) contained the same speech, but in its original clear form. The noise-vocoded version was then played again (snippet c ). As such, this third condition was affected by priming because the original clear speech was played immediately before and because the speech was vocoded at the limit of intelligibility. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4371 (#expands, via linked claim)
