Statistical Cues Facilitate Infants’ Discrimination of Difficult Phonetic Contrasts
Perhaps the best-known fact about developmental speech perception is that infants are remarkably adept at discriminating phonetic contrasts. In early infancy, this ability is unaffected by language environment, resulting in the surprising fact that infants can discriminate certain foreign contrasts that their parents cannot. For example, infants from English-speaking homes can hear the differen...
متن کاملPhonetic, phonemic, and phonological factors in cross-language discrimination of phonotactic contrasts.
Previous research indicates that multiple levels of linguistic information play a role in the perception and discrimination of non-native phonemes. This study examines the interaction of phonetic, phonemic and phonological factors in the discrimination of non-native phonotactic contrasts. Listeners of Catalan, English, and Russian are presented with an initial #CC-#CəC contrast in a discriminat...

متن کاملPhonetic and Other Influences on Voicing Contrasts
What factors influence how languages use voicing and aspiration? Some influences are phonetic: a salient auditory boundary between short and long lag VOT values favors the perception of aspiration contrasts, while a clear gestural distinction favors the production of voicing contrasts. But even within a language, speakers differ in how they produce contrasts. Examination of speaker variation in...
متن کاملStability in young infants' discrimination of optic flow.
Although considerable progress has been made in understanding how adults perceive their direction of self-motion, or heading, from optic flow, little is known about how these perceptual processes develop in infants. In 3 experiments, the authors explored how well 3- to 6-month-old infants could discriminate between optic flow patterns that simulated changes in heading direction. The results sug...
