Testing speech perception today and tomorrow: serious computer games as perception tests

Authors: Natalie Lewandowski, Daniel Duran

Abstract:

We present a methodological comparison between a computerized ver- sion of a classical perception experiment for the detection and categorization of fine phonetic detail and a newly designed serious computer game. We discuss general methodological consequences for experiments on auditory perception and attention to phonetic dimensions of speech and the important role individual differences play in the evaluation of the presented test set-ups.
