DESCRIPTION:Dr. Michael Tanenhaus is Beverly Petterson Bishop and Charles W
 .\nBishop Professor of Brain & Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics\nat the 
 University of Rochester.  He is also Director of the\nCenter for Language 
 Sciences\n\nAbstract\nDespite considerable evidence to the contrary\, it i
 s widely assumed\nthat some classes of speech sounds are perceived categor
 ically in a\nway that exemplars from other types of non-speech categories 
 are\nnot.  Yet\, the articulation of many sounds\, including\nconsonants\,
  varies systematically with position in a prosodic\ndomain.  A system that
  discarded sub-phonetic detail would\nthus be ignoring potentially useful 
 information. I'll review recent\ndata from eye-tracking studies demonstrat
 ing that spoken word\nrecognition does\, in fact\, exploit fine-grained su
 b-phonetic detail\nto make probabilistic hypothesis about lexical candidat
 es\,\nincluding within-category variation for stop consonants--once the\np
 oster child for categorical perception.  I'll conclude by\npresenting evid
 ence from perceptual learning studies suggesting\nthat listeners might mak
 e optimal use of the distributional\ninformation provided by within-catego
 ry variation.\n
