The "center of gravity" effect was observed in the identification of synthetic vowels when the amplitude relation of the second (F2) and the third (F3) formants was changed gradually in time the formants frequency being constant. The perceptive reactions were analogous with the perception of diphthong-like vowels with the frequency transitions of the second formant placed within the area between F2 and F3 of the stimuli above mentioned but considerably weaker. The effect was developed in the F3-F2 area up to 4.3 Bark, where the boundary of between diphthong-like vowels /Y, W and stationary /U/ was observed.
