Pre-emptiveness, speech and scene analysis

["Robert E. Remez" <REMEZ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues:

Our merry band (Jennifer Pardo, Philip Rubin & me) presently are awaiting the
reviews of a manuscript submitted to PERCEPTION & PSYCHOPHYSICS on the
topic of Al Bregman's recent missive.  The method employs sinewave analogs
of words in several succesive and simultaneous tests of the resolution
of auditory forms and phonetic attributes.  (We first described this method
in San Francisco at the 1991 annual meeting of the Psychonomic Society.)
The findings address the issues of perceptual organization of speech as well
as the prior claim of pre-emptiveness staked by Mattingly & Liberman in
their recent experiments and reviews.

Drop me a line if you would like to see a samizdat copy of the manuscript...
