From Ear to Cortex: A Perspective on What Clinicians Need To Understand about Speech Perception and Language Processing.
Nittrouer, Susan
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v33 n4 p237-52 Oct 2002
This article reviews experiments that have revealed developmental changes in speech perception that accompany improvements in access to phonetic structure. It explains how these perceptual changes appear to be related to other aspects of language development. Evidence is provided that these changes result from adequate language experience in naturalistic contexts. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
