Abstract
15 normal-hearing, right-handed Italian subjects were tested dichotically with Italian and English stop consonant plus vowel combinations (CVs). The stimuli were modified on a computer-based routine so that the pre-voicing of Italian voiced CVs was 30 ms long. In this condition, a significant right-ear advantage and a consistent lag effect were observed with both Italian and English stimuli. In addition, no significant differences between the two types of stimuli (English and Italian) were observed in the dichotic performances (except when using the 90-ms lag, which resulted in a significant difference in performance).
