Title: Stability of compensatory behavior for real-time perturbations of vowel formants

One example of this relationship is demonstrated by real-time formant perturbation studies which show that talkers automatically change their formant production when auditory feedback does not match with the vowel they intend to produce. The reported results are consistent across studies, yet the variability between talkers is usually quite large, with some talkers showing a large magnitude compensation while others compensate modestly. To date, the degree to which talkers compensate has been assumed to be stable, but this has never been directly examined. The current study tested the stability of compensatory behavior for perturbed formant shifted feedback by repeatedly testing a group of talkers over the course of a few weeks to measure the variance in formant values and compensation across experimental sessions. The results will be discussed in terms of sensorimotor adjustment and speech production models.Read More
