Experiment Two Design and Results

(A) Eight example stimulus sequences, which factorially vary the lexical status of the precursor syllables and penultimate syllable, and the presence or absence of targets. The numerical subscripts indicate which of two different recordings of each syllable was presented, and targets are outlined with dotted lines. Note that an acoustic change always occurs at the penultimate syllable of a sequence, regardless of whether the lexical status is also different, or whether a target is present.

(B) Gap-detection sensitivity (d′) for sequences in which the fused percept of the precursor syllables (left pair of bars) or penultimate syllable (right pair of bars) corresponded to a word or nonword. Error bars show the SEM, with across-participant differences removed.
