The Role of Stress and Articulatory Difficulty in Children's Early Productions.
Hura, Susan L.; Echols, Catherine H.
Developmental Psychology, v32 n1 p165-76 Jan 1996
Investigated interactions between stress level of syllables and articulatory difficulty as influences on children's early words. Subjects were 32 two-year olds asked to imitate nonsense words and syllables that varied in articulatory difficulty. Found that both factors had significant effects on aspects of children's imitations. (MOK)
