Phonemic restoration and integration during dichotic listening.
In a series of experiments, evidence was obtained for phonemic restoration when a word with the segment /s/ excised and replaced by silence and a comparable noise segment were presented dichotically. What has been called phonemic integration was also demonstrated by presenting the excised /s/ and the word with the /s/ removed and replaced by silence dichotically. Phonemic restoration and integration effects tended to be enhanced when barely audible versions of the excised /s/ or noise segment replaced the silence. Finally, phonemic integration was obtained when words with an excised CV syllable or VC rime were present dichotically together with the remainder of the word.
