Human perception is shaped by experience. When input is improbable in the context of the perceiver's experience, perceptual systems will sometimes create an illusion so that the input conforms better to expectation. For example, Japanese does not allow homorganic consonant clusters and when Japanese listeners are exposed to non-native speech that contains homorganic consonant clusters, they sometimes report hearing an illusory vowel amid the cluster. This project will explore the various ways that Japanese listeners perceive input that is improbable in the context of their linguistic history.
