摘要
Purpose: The effects of type of stimuli (i.e., nonspeech vs. speech), speech (i.e., natural vs. synthetic), gender of speaker and listener, speaker (i.e., self vs. other), and frequency alteration in self-produced speech on the late auditory cortical evoked potential were examined. %26lt;br%26gt;Method: Young adult men (n = 15) and women (n = 15), all with normal hearing, participated. P1-N1-P2 components were evoked with the following stimuli: 723-Hz tone bursts; naturally produced male and female /a/ tokens; synthetic male and female /a/ tokens; an /a/ token self-produced by each participant; and the same /a/ token produced by the participant but with a shift in frequency. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: In general, P1-N1-P2 component latencies were significantly shorter when evoked with the tonal stimulus versus speech stimuli and natural versus synthetic speech (p%26lt;.05). Women had significantly shorter latencies for only the P2 component (p%26lt;.05). For the tonal versus speech stimuli, P1 amplitudes were significantly smaller, and N1 and P2 amplitudes were significantly larger (p%26lt;.05). There was no significant effect of gender on the P1, N1, or P2 amplitude (p%26gt;.05). %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion: These findings are consistent with the notion that spectrotemporal characteristics of nonspeech and speech stimuli affect P1-N1-P2 latency and amplitude components.
