Description: Building on previous observations of variability in speech research, we examine variability in speech perception study materials associated with the specific talker and contrast under examination. English-speaking listeners completed a web-based auditory AXB task involving Hindi dental-retroflex stop contrasts produced by four talkers. Main effects of talker and contrast, as well as the interaction of the two, were observed. Further, there was a great deal of individual listener variation. These findings complicate our ability to characterize the difficulty that Hindi dental-retroflex contrasts pose for English speakers, and lead to critical questions concerning the generalizability of speech perception study findings.
