View source for Fuzzy logic model of perception

The Fuzzy Logic perception model was put forward by Massaro. It is based on the claim that [[categorical perception]] does not imply that people have a special [[module]] for processing speech. It claims that categorical perception can be understood as a problem of classifying the features that are present in the accoustic pattern.

Massaro claimed that speech is recognised in three stages:

*evalution - speeck is analysed in terms of auditory and visual features (see [[mcgurk effect]])
*integration - the feature information is integrated
*decision - overall evidence is used to identify the speech sound
