Popis: Nearly three decades ago, Hirsh [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 31, 759–761 (1959)] found that the threshold for identification of temporal order of onset is significantly longer than the threshold for detection of onset asynchrony, and proposed that the order identification threshold might serve as a basis for the contrast between voiced and unvoiced aspirated stop consonants in initial position. In the last decade, a number of researchers have argued that temporal order identification threshold does not play a significant role in voicing contrast. One basis for this argument against a phonetic perception role is that the 15‐ to 20‐ms range of typical order identification thresholds for simple stimuli are significantly shorter than VOT boundaries typical for synthetic stop consonants which include an initial release burst. The current research investigated the possible contribution of an initial noise burst analog as a masking stimulus. The initial noise burst shifts temporal order identification thresholds to sign...
