An examination of error reductions in consonant recognition when vision and hearing are combined.

Errors in judging by 9 men and 9 women the three acoustic cues for consonant recognition, those of voice, place of articulation, and manner of articulation, were markedly reduced by 70% or more when vision was added to hearing in a word-in-noise discrimination task. The extent of error reduction is surprising especially for the least-visible voice cue.

Errors on cues for consonant identification on auditory and visual word-recognition tasks.

For 9 women and 9 men undergraduates the proportion of voice, place of articulation, and manner of articulation errors were significantly different on an auditory word-in-noise task but not on a visual word-discrimination task. Results are most surprising for the visual condition, since voice cues are considered the least visible of the three cues for identification of consonants.
