Summary of the methodological details and main results of the three experiments.
Methods | Main results | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Setting | Design | Modality of test stimuli | Language of stimuli speaker | Baseline | Pauses | Durational cues | Pitch cues | |
Exp. 1 | Natural | Between-subjects | Visual | English | Successful segmentation | Improve segmentation | Lengthening improves & shortening hinders segmentation | No effect compared to baseline |
Exp. 2 | Lab | Within-subjects | Visual | German | No successful segmentation | Improve segmentation | Lengthening: successful segmentation, no improvement compared to baseline Shortening hinders segmentation | Not tested |
Exp. 3 | Lab | Within-subjects | Auditory | German | No successful segmentation | Improve segmentation | No effect compared to baseline; tendency: lengthening improves & shortening hinders segmentation | No effect compared to baseline; tendency: higher pitch improves & lower pitch hinders segmentation |
