Does Sentential Prosody Help Infants Organize and Remember Speech Information?

Mandel, Denise R.; And Others

Cognition, v53 n2 p155-80 Nov 1994

Two experiments examined whether infants might use the prosody of sentences to organize and remember spoken information. Results suggest that infants better remember phonetic properties of words prosodically linked together within a single clause rather than a list, and words that are prosodically linked within a single clausal unit as opposed to fragments.
