Modeled acoustic distances predict perceived consonant distances with near-perfect correlation

Evidence

In accordance with the procedure described in Sect. 2.4 , the across-CV, across-talker, within-talker, and across-noise modeled distances were obtained as a function of the SNR from the predicted responses. Figure 3 shows scatter plots of the perceptual distance versus the modeled distances obtained using P (panel a) and Pmod (panel b). It can be observed that the perceptual distances were remarkably well-predicted using P as well as Pmod , with a Pearson’s r of 0.96 and 0.98, respectively. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5609
