A previous study (Ackermann, Gräber, Hertrich, & Daum, 1997) reported impaired phoneme identification in cerebellar disorders, provided that categorization depended on temporal cues. In order to further clarify the underlying mechanism of the observed deficit, the present study performed a discrimination and identification task in cerebellar patients using two-tone sequences of variable pause length. Cerebellar dysfunctions were found to compromise the discrimination of time intervals extending in duration from 10 to 150 ms, a range covering the length of acoustic speech segments. In contrast, categorization of the same stimuli as a "short" or "long pause" turned out to be unimpaired. These findings, along with the data of the previous investigation, indicate, first, that the cerebellum participates in the perceptual processing of speech and nonspeech stimuli and, second, that this organ might act as a back-up mechanism, extending the storage capacities of the "auditory analyzer" extracting temporal cues from acoustic signals.
