The retrieved evidence provides partial support by noting that English vowel contrasts involve spectral and durational cues, but it lacks specific details demonstrating how acoustic analysis distinguishes English short i from long i using formants and duration.

Individual variability in subcortical neural encoding shapes phonetic cue weighting.
2023 · cited by 5
Recent studies have revealed great individual variability in cue weighting, and such variation is shown to be systematic across individuals and linked to differences in some general cognitive mechanism. The present study investigated the role of subcortical encoding as a source of individual variability in cue weighting by focusing on English listeners' frequency following responses to the tense/lax English vowel contrast varying in spectral and durational cues. Listeners differed in early auditory encoding with some encoding the spectral cue more veridically than the durational one, while others exhibited the reverse pattern. These differences in cue encoding further correlate with behavioral variability in cue weighting, suggesting that specificity in cue encoding across individuals modulates how cues are weighted in downstream processes.
