Abstract：
:Listeners perceive speech sounds categorically. While group-level differences in categorical perception have been observed in children or individuals with reading disorders, recent findings suggest that typical adults vary in how categorically they perceive sounds. The current study investigated neural sources of individual variability in categorical perception of speech. Fifty-seven participants rated phonetic tokens on a visual analogue scale; categoricity and response consistency were measured and related to measures of brain structure from MRI. Increased surface area of the right middle frontal gyrus predicted more categorical perception of a fricative continuum. This finding supports the idea that frontal regions are sensitive to phonetic category-level information and extends it to make behavioral predictions at the individual level. Additionally, more gyrification in bilateral transverse temporal gyri predicted less consistent responses on the task, perhaps reflecting subtle variation in language ability across the population.
