Rapid reproduction of vowel-vowel sequences: evidence for a fast and direct acoustic-motoric linkage in speech

R J Porter Jr et al. J Speech Hear Res. 1980 Sep.

Abstract

Listeners display extremely short latencies when asked to reproduce (shadow), a random series of vowel-vowel sequences. The latency of the shadowing response is as fast or faster than that obtained when the same subjects are asked simply to produce a predetermined vowel-vowel gesture as rapidly as possible. The speed of the shadowing response suggests a fast and direct linkage of the speech-analysis and speech-production mechanisms.
