The multi- modal tool uses visualization and sonification (non-speech sound) of data. Visible speech tokens is a class of multidimensional data that have been used extensively in designing talking head that has been used in training of deaf individuals by watching speech (1). Visible

Discusses previous studies demonstrating that a letter is better identified when embedded in a valid spelling pattern than when presented alone. An experiment with 9 undergraduates replicated earlier findings in a paradigm that controlled for redundancy by ...

In the first two experiments, subjects identified /ba/ or /da/ speech events consisting of high-quality synthetic syllables ranging from /ba/ to /da/ combined with a videotaped /ba/ or /da/ or neutral articulation. Although subjects were specifically instructed to report what they heard, visual articulation made a large contribution to identification. The tests of quantitative models provide evidence for the integration of continuous and independent, as opposed to discrete or nonindependent, sources of information. The reaction times for identification were primarily correlated with the perceived ambiguity of the speech event. In a third experiment, the speech events were identified with an unconstrained set of response alternatives. In addition to /ba/ and /da/ responses, the /bda/ and /tha/ responses were well described by a combination of continuous and independent features. This body of results provides strong evidence for a fuzzy logical model of perceptual recognition.
