Canonical and Non-Canonical Syllable Discrimination by Two-Day-Old Infants.
Moon, Christine; And Others
Journal of Child Language, v19 n1 p1-17 Feb 1992
Examines the importance of canonical syllables in early speech perception as well as production. A study, using the discrimination learning method, tested 20 infants (mean age 51 hours) and 20 controls for their ability to discriminate between members of syllable pairs that were either canonical or noncanonical. Differences in reactions are discussed. (35 references) (GLR)
