Word initial cohort model
Lindfield et al. (1999)
Figure 1. Cumulative
percentage of words
correctly identified as
word-onset durations were
increased in 50-ms
increments for the three
presentation conditions
(onset plus prosody, onset
plus duration, onset only).
Note that correct prosody
also includes correct word
length. Error bars
represent one standard
error of the mean.
