Richard M. Warren demonstrated phonemic restoration using interrupted speech. Comparing replacement by another sound with a silent gap tests whether perceived continuity can exceed the physically available speech signal. The experiment shows how context and competing sound affect what is heard rather than simply measuring detection of an omitted acoustic segment. [ref]
