| | HUMAN CONSONANT RECOGNITION FOR INITIAL AND FINAL SEGMENTS OF VCV UTTERANCES |
 | | The resulting classification data showed that, when increasing portions of the initial part of the CV were deleted, correct classification of manner of articulation decreased on average 25ms earlier than that of voicing, which, in turn, decreased about 5ms earlier that that of place of articulation. |
 | | That is, VCV stimuli containing consonants with different place of articulation would be close together (confusable) on, say, dimension 1, and well-separated (non-confusable) on dimension 2, while the reverse holds for consonants with different manner of articulation. |
 | | In terms of manner of articulation and voicing, the forward-gated stimuli were clustered as nasal consonants, voiced fricatives, voiceless fricatives and plosives, while the backward-gated stimuli were clustered as nasals, fricatives, voiced plosives and voiceless plosives. |
