| Abstract(in English) | We can identify vowels pronounced by any speaker, although he or she has different length of the vocal tract. At the same time, we can discriminate the difference of length of vocal tract. To simulate these abilities, a computational model has been proposed in which the size information is extracted and separated from the shape information In this paper, we investigated the temporal characteristic of this extracting process of the size information. In the first experiment, listeners were required to identify the size-modulated vowel sequences. The results showed deterioration of the performance for the rapid modulation. This deterioration could be explained by hypothesizing that a rapid change of size of the vocal tract causes the stream segregation. In the second experiment, listeners judged whether a target vowel exist or not in the sequences. The observed tendency also supported the segregation hypothesis. |
