TABLE XII.

For group MS, the rank ordering of the 13 VCVs that contributed the greatest variance (cumulative total 25%) to the overall dataset is displayed. The two male (m1 and m2) and two female (f1 and f2) talkers are listed in the “Talker” column. All talkers had upper Midwestern dialects with the following approximate fundamental frequencies: f1 = 190 Hz, f2 = 220 Hz, m1 = 120 Hz, m2 = 90 Hz. The consonant and vowel making up the VCV are listed in the “C” and “V” columns, respectively. The percent of listeners (n = 14) who correctly identified each token is listed in the columns corresponding to the 1.6 start frequency (SF), the 2.2 kHz SF, and the control condition, with the header beneath each corresponding to the input BW (5.0, 7.1, and 9.1 kHz). The last column displays the cumulative variance accounted for by each successive entry in the table.
