Auditory Processing in Children's Speech Perception: Results of Selective Adaptation and Discrimination Tasks.

Sussman, Joan E.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v36 n2 p380-95 Apr 1993

Ten children (ages 5-6) and 10 adults participated in discrimination and selective adaptation speech perception tasks using a synthetic consonant-vowel continuum. Results support hypotheses of sensory processing differences in younger, normally developing children compared with adults and show that such abilities appear to be related to speech perception skills.
