This report was presented as a poster to the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society, San Francisco, November 1991, and as a colloquium at UCLA and UC Berkeley in October 1992 The authors gratefully acknowledge support from National Institute on Aging Grant 1 R01 AG 09755 to Donald G MacKay and a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship to Michelle D Miller We also thank Deborah Burke for loaning various pieces of equipment essential to this research and for helpful comments on an earlier version of this article Data for a random half of the subjects reported here have been used for comparison with 32 older subjects in a subsequent report on effects of aging on repetition deafness (MacKay & Miller, 1992b)

N2 - This research demonstrates a new cognitive phenomenon known as repetition deafness, a difficulty in immediate recall of repeated words in computer-compressed speech Sixty-four subjects heard sentences and lists at four speeded rates 70, 55, 35, and 28 ms/phoneme Each target word in the materials followed a pretarget word that was either identical (repeated-target condition) or different (unrepeated-target condition), and targets were harder to recall when repeated than unrepeated Repetition deafness was rate-limited, occurring only with rapid rates of presentation (55 ms/phoneme or less), and decreased in magnitude as structure increased from lists to sentences Implications for current theories of repetition deficits are discussed.
