摘要

时间连贯性是指具有一致时间模式的声音被视为单一声源,被认为是听觉场景分析中的重要线索。然而,对其影响的研究主要集中在简单重复的音调上,而不是语音上。本研究通过引入跨频率异步来研究时间一致性在语音中的作用。在有背景语音噪声或单个说话者干扰的情况下,测试了不同步对目标句子可懂度的影响。我们的假设是,破坏时间连贯性不仅会降低可懂度,还会削弱听者将目标语音与干扰说话者区分开来的能力,从而导致语音任务的可懂度下降幅度大于噪声任务。刺激物被过滤成八个频段,然后以 0-120 毫秒的延迟进行非同步化处理。不出所料,可懂度随着不同步的增加而下降。然而,噪音和单语掩蔽者的下降幅度相似。对于自然(正向)和反向语音掩码,以及低语义和高语义的目标句子,主要是目标句子而不是掩码的不同步影响了听力表现。研究结果表明,时间连贯性对于语音分离可能不像传统听觉场景分析研究中使用的非语音刺激那样重要。

Testing the role of temporal coherence on speech intelligibility with noise and single-talker maskers.

Temporal coherence, where sounds with aligned timing patterns are perceived as a single source, is considered an essential cue in auditory scene analysis. However, its effects have been studied primarily with simple repeating tones, rather than speech. This study investigated the role of temporal coherence in speech by introducing across-frequency asynchronies. The effect of asynchrony on the intelligibility of target sentences was tested in the presence of background speech-shaped noise or a single-talker interferer. Our hypothesis was that disrupting temporal coherence should not only reduce intelligibility but also impair listeners' ability to segregate the target speech from an interfering talker, leading to greater degradation for speech-in-speech than speech-in-noise tasks. Stimuli were filtered into eight frequency bands, which were then desynchronized with delays of 0-120 ms. As expected, intelligibility declined as asynchrony increased. However, the decline was similar for both noise and single-talker maskers. Primarily target, rather than masker, asynchrony affected performance for both natural (forward) and reversed-speech maskers, and for target sentences with low and high semantic context. The results suggest that temporal coherence may not be as critical a cue for speech segregation as it is for the non-speech stimuli traditionally used in studies of auditory scene analysis.
