Auditory effects on speech production were investigated using a new experimental paradigm TAF (transformed auditory feedback). The method replaces a natural side tone path with an artificial path which modifies parameters of the feedback speech sounds in real-time, and measures effects in the produced speech sounds. Estimated impulse responses from pitch perception to voice Fo control illustrated that the response can be compensatory and is decomposed into two 2nd order responses. The results suggest that our auditory system has two different pitch related processes working in parallel and integrated in an additive manner.
