Does reliance on top-down cues in L2 speech perception change with growing experience?
Original language description
When perceiving speech, listeners integrate bottom-up (segmental) and top-down (contextual) cues. Research of second-language (L2) speech perception suggests that non-native listeners do not make efficient use of top-down cues. We investigated whether the relative importance of top-down and bottom-up cues changes with L2 experience. Czech learners of English participated in two experiments which involved a conflict between segmental and contextual information (cue incongruence). Listeners were influenced by incongruent semantic top-down cues (sentence context), however they seemed to ignore the incongruent top-down cues when they were provided visually. Importantly, we did not find any evidence supporting the hypothesis that the importance of top-downcues relative to bottom-up cues for L2 speech perception decreases with growing L2 experience.
