Tasks and phonetic variability measures

Task and Number of Speakers Transcription-based measures Acoustic measures
64 item picture naming task (n=20) Percent accuracy: sibilants and liquids
Error Consistency Index
Rapid multisyllabic picture naming (n=18) Total Token Variability (mean of 6 words) Formants (F1 and F2): Euclidean distances from the mean (average over 8 target vowels)
Word durations: Coefficient of variation (mean of 6 words)
Diadochokinetic task (n=16) Number of different realizations of /pʌtʌkʌ/in 40 attempts Coefficient of Variation of VOT and trisyllable durations
