Uno de los debates más profundamente arraigados en el terreno de la percepción del habla es el de la posible especificidad de los mecanismos involucrados en el procesamiento de las señales de voz. En un trabajo anterior presentamos la evidencia empírica proveniente de la asignación de fronteras perceptivas a continuos acústicos. En este artículo nos centraremos en los fenómenos de integración perceptiva. Revisaremos, primero, aspectos relacionados con la integración estructural de la señal acústica (relaciones de intercambio y efectos del contexto) para referirnos después a la integración de distintas fuentes informativas (percepción doble y efecto McGurk). Finalmente, se presentan nuevos datos que parecen apoyar la hipótesis de la especificidad de los mecanismos responsables de la percepción del habla.
