Determining Perceptual Spaces for the Quality of Filtered Speech

Victor E. McGee · Journal of Speech and Hearing Research · 1965

Using one recorded voice, distorted in 15 different ways, a sample of listeners made similarity-with-respect-to-quality judgments for the complete paired comparison schedule.

An implication of the “mean” point of view was the operation of two response sets labeled “lowest harmonics—YES” and “lowest harmonics—NO”.
