No. 9 (1969)]. Forty normal-hearing reading-impaired children with normal SRTs were given phonetically balanced words monaurally at 60 dB HL. Words were next presented to one ear at 10 dB SL and to the other at 40 dB SL. The later was altered so that all

Pairs of syllables differed in the consonant, the vowel, and their relative times of onset. Interference between the two dichotic inputs was observed primarily for pairs which contrasted on voicing. Performance on pairs that shared voicing remained excellent under all three conditions. The results suggest that the interference underlying the lag effect and the feature sharing effect for voicing occur before phonetic analysis where both auditory inputs interact. A large body of research suggests that the perception of speech stimuli may involve specialized neural mechanisms that may not be employed in the perception of other auditory signals . Most investigators have assumed that the right ear advantage (REA) for dichotically presented linguistic stimuli reflects the general asymmetry of cerebral language function Studdert-Kennedy & Shankweiler, 1970). Studdert-Kennedy and Shankweiler have further argued that the right ear advantage for nonsense syllables reflects the operation of a specialized speech processor in the language dominant hemisphere and is not due to specialized auditory processing capacities. In other words, they claim that both cerebral hemispheres are capable of processing the auditory information in the speech signal but only the language dominant hemisphere is involved in the identification and recognition of linguistic-phonetic features in the stimulus. Support for the notion of a unilateral phonetic processor in the language dominant hemisphere rests on a number of general findings about the relations between speech and language (see . However, most of the experimental evidence to date deals primarily with several types of interactions that have

The components of technology development and knowledge transfer follow next: recognition or perception of the match between technology and product knowledge and market need or niche, and the capabiliry to deliver successful products. Three types of international product development structures based upon AT&T's evolution from a national, centralized structure for R&D and product development to a worldwide, competence-based, product development structure are critiqued. The assumptions, enabling conditions, and required individual and organizational capabilities of each stage are discussed, highlighting each stage's impact on the firm's ability to recognize a match between available technology and the market.
