a. Waveform showing voice-onset time (VOT) for intruder sound b in speech error Baby eye [b]atch (Simon Fraser University Speech Error Database – English, record ID13005).
b. Visualization of cascading activation from the mis-selected error sound b in double circle and intended sound p of intended word patch. The selected phoneme b sends a large amount of activation to the glottal gesture consistent with voiced stops, yet the weakly-activated competitor p also sends a smaller activation signal to its corresponding gesture – resulting in the intermediate articulation between the two categories (see Goldrick & Chu, 2014 for simulation of this effect using gestural articulations from Browman & Goldstein, 1992).
