The studies presented here were based on theories of speech perception and production. The Native Language Magnet theory claims that vowels of the native language are stored as prototypes or ideal exemplars of a given category. Further, these prototypes are said to hold a special status in speech perception in that they act as perceptual magnets, thus minimizing differences between the prototype and surrounding stimuli. This theory has recently been used to argue that prototypes are the foundation for early productions. The first study assessed whether subjects could indeed consistently select a preferred stimulus or prototype for the vowel /i/. These data were then employed in a discrimination task which included a prototypical, nonprototypical, and a foreign vowel condition in order to determine the effects of prototypicality on discriminability. The second study examined the relationship between these same subjects' perceptual data to their own production data for this native vowel. Subjects produced two types of productions: citation (normal) and hyperarticulated speech (exaggerated). In the first study, 24 of the original 37 subjects consistently selected a prototype, and 16 of the 24 chose different stimuli as their prototype. The discrimination experiment also revealed that subjects' discrimination scores were lower for the prototype and foreign condition than the nonprototype condition. This was interpreted as only marginally supportive of a magnet effect. In the second study, the analyses revealed that as predicted, the perceptual data were more extreme than the production data. In addition, distance scores were calculated from the perceptual data and revealed that the hyperarticulated speech was more aligned with the perceptual data than was the citation speech. Taken together, the results from these studies imply that phonetic tokens are represented as ideal or prototypic exemplars. In addition, there does appear to be a link between the perceptual and production data, but the nature and origins of this link require further investigation.
