In a Signal Detection experiment, observers attempted to identify a word masked by white noise which occurred in a tape recorded utterance. This was done by using a Yes-No procedure in which the response item sometimes fitted the context of the utterance on the recording, and sometimes did not. When the response item was in context observers were more biased towards reporting that it was the masked word than when the response word was out of context. Also there was a small improvement in sensitivity for words in context which suggests that context not only affects the response system but also has perceptual consequences. |
