Previous studies have provided important findings on children's speech production development. They have revealed that essentially all aspects of children's speech shift toward adult-like characteristics over time. Nevertheless, few studies have examined the perceptual aspects of children's speech tokens, as perceived by naive adult listeners. To fill the gap between children's production and adults' perception, we conducted cross-sectional perceptual studies of monosyllabic words produced by children aged two to six years. Monosyllabic words in the consonant-vowel-consonant form were extracted from children's speech samples and presented aurally to five listener groups (20 listeners in total). Generally, the agreement rate between children's production of target words and adult listeners' responses increases with age. The perceptual responses to tokens produced by two-year old children induced the largest discrepancies and the responses to words produced by six years olds agreed the most. Further analyses were conducted to identify the sources of disagreement, including the types of segments and syllable structure. This study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the development and perception of children's speech across age groups.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect for information load on perceived information quality and website quality, and the relationships among perceived information quality, website quality and behavioral intentions in online apparel shopping contexts. The information load theory provided the theoretical framework for this study. The research strategy employed an online experimentation using an apparel mock website. The total of 647 responses were used for data analyses. The model of the study was tested by MANOVA and SEM. The results of MANOVA revealed the effect of information load on perceived information quality and website quality. The medium level of information load was perceived as having more positive information quality and website quality as compared to the low or high level of information load. The findings of SEM revealed the positive effect of information quality on website quailty, the positive effect of website quality on WOM and willingness to pay more, and the negative effect of website quailty on willingness to switch. Online apparel retailers and website designers need to manage information quantity and quality by understanding the importance of information load.

The purpose of this paper is to show their distinctive auditory cues. Until now research of acoustic characteristics has been confined to simple experiments concerning the restricted conditions. Therefore this paper examines all of the acoustic characteristics of the lax and tense Fricative Consonants and shows to how acoustic characteristics can be used to differentiate lax and tense Fricative Consonants. The results of this paper are (a) auditory cues are especially important if there is a large difference between acoustic characteristics, (b) the lax and tense Fricative Consonant's distinctive auditory cues contain a hierarchy, and (c) there is a different hierarchy between CV and VCV.

In this paper, we propose the image retrieval method based on object regions using bidirectional round filter in the wavelet transform domain. A conventional method that includes unnecessary background information reduce retrieval efficiency, because of the extraction of feature vectors from the whole region of subband. On proposed method, it extracts accurate feature vectors and keep certainly retrieval efficiency in case of reduced feature vectors, because of the extraction of feature vectors from the only extracted object region. Furthermore, it improve retrieval efficiency by removing unnecessary background information. Consequently, the retrieval efficiency is improved with 2.5%∼5.5% values, which have a little chances to vary according to characteristics of image.

This study investigated the response time and patterns of categorical perception of the wh-scope of an embedded clause with the non-bridge verb, "gung-geum hada 'wonder'," in the matrix verb phrase in Gyeongsang Korean. Using the same procedure as Yun (2022), 72 responses and response times for each stimulus were collected from 24 participants over the course of three trials. The stimuli were recorded readings of 40 speakers (20 male, 20 female). Context was provided to induce a matrix scope interpretation of the embedded wh-phrase in the target sentence. We sorted the 40 stimuli according to the number of matrix scope responses each received, and charted the response times for each stimulus. Although there was considerable overlap for the different types of wh-scope interpretations, there was a clear difference in categorical perception between the matrix and embedded scopes. The 24 participants also differed in their categorical perceptions. The results suggested that response time and wh-scope interpretation were not directly related and that two main weighted factors affected wh-scope interpretation: morpho-syntactic constraints and prosodic structural integrity. The weighting of each of these factors was inversely correlated and varied among subjects.

According to recent studies, the location of visual information has a significant impact on consumers' interpretation and judgment in various contexts. In particular, vertical positioning is relevant to the perception of weight: consumers tend to interpret that products are heavier when information is placed at the bottom of a page or section rather than the top. This is due to the common perception that heavy things would sink to the bottom and light things would float up. Consistent with this research stream, the current study investigates how the vertical location of freebie information influences promotion evaluation. We hypothesize that consumers assume that the complimentary product is heavier when the information about it is displayed at the bottom compared to when the information is displayed at the top. Two experiments were conducted. In experiment 1, we show how the location of "get one free" information impacts the evaluation of the sales promotion in a "Buy two and get one free" context. When the complimentary information was displayed below rather than above the main product information, consumers evaluated the sales promotion more favorably. Experiment 2 tests the generalizability of the vertical location effect by using a different type of information and product: a visual picture of vitamin tablets rather than the numeric information as in Experiment 1. The dependent variable was also extended to the perceived amount of the promoted product. We suggest the boundary condition that the proposed effect is moderated by the presence or absence of an explicit message about the amount. Without an explicit message about the amount of the product, the results were similar to those of experiment 1 in that consumers perceived that the product offered a greater amount when the complimentary information was displayed at the bottom rather than at the top. However, the location effect disappeared with an explicit message about the amount. This confirms the moderating effect that presenting an explicit message about the amount is a crucial boundary condition for location effect in a value added promotion. Marketers can use this knowledge to formulate strategies in a variety of sales promotion conditions.

Recently, luxury research has been interested the basis of the effect of charity on luxury brand. Some of their results showed that guilt reduction plays an important role in this mechanism. Current research focuses on the moderating effect of negative perception of production on the effect of charity and the moderated mediation of guilt reduction. An experiment using a well-known luxury brand is conducted. Results show that charity influences purchase intent toward luxury branded product positively and negative perception of production's main effect is negative. Charity x Production perception is significant. More importantly, moderated mediation of guilt reduction was significant, showing the mediated effect is greater when participants perceive the production negatively. Findings of this research provide theoretical and practical implications for the marketing of luxury brands, suggesting the new perspectives of ethic perception effect of production.

낱자 또는 음절들을 매우 짧게 제시하고 차폐로 지운 후 두 낱자 중하나를 선택하는 과제 (Reicher, 1969)를 사용하여 음절 맥락에서 낱자 지각에 영향을 주는 변수들과 그 배후 지각과정들을 검토하였다. 자모 조합유형이 음절 내 낱자의 정체 파악에 체계적으로 영향을 주고 있었고, 예상과는 달리 음절 내의 낱자들이 단독으로 제시되는 낱자 보다 잘 파악되지 않는 음절열등효과가 일관되게 관찰되었다. 본 연구의 세 실험 결과들을 상호작용활성화 모형과 초보지각자-기억자 모형에 비추어 논의하였다.

본 논문에서는 고속의 적웅 지각 필터에서 잡음 과추정으로 인해서 발생하는 불필요한 반복 계산 및 결과 신호의 SNR 성능 저하를 개선시키는 방법을 제안한다. 적응 지각 필터를 고속연산이 가능하도록 개선하는 과정에서 시간적인 측면에서는 많은 성능의 개선이 있었지만 음질 개선 과정에서 과추정된 잡음의 적용에 의한 성능 저하가 발생하였다. 제안하는 시스템에서는 적웅 지각 필터의 임계값을 조정하고, 임계값이외에 발생하는 잡음 과추정에 대해서 실험적으로 필터 반복 연산량 제한을 통해 향상된 결과를 얻었다. 이 시스템에서 필터 반복 연산량은 입력 구간의 신호에 따라 적응적으로 제한된다. 제안된 알고리즘의 개선 확인을 위해서 감소된 반복 연산량과 SNR 개선량을 측정하여 기존의 방법과 비교하였다.
