Abstract
17 subjects provided magnitude estimations in the form of quality judg ments of a filtered speech stimulus which was a nonsense sentence cont aining all of the consonants of English from Fairbanks. It was present ed to subjects at 8 high-pass and 8 low-pass filtering conditions. Con sistent magnitude estimations to the filtered stimulus were similar fo r both conditions. Also, for both conditions, subjects' numerical resp onses consistently increased in value as stimulus quality was judged t o be poorer.
