Effects of Transition Length on the Perception of Stop Consonants by Children and Adults.
Sussman, Joan E.; Carney, Arlene Earley
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v32 n1 p151-60 Mar 1989
The study examined whether children with normal linguistic skills demonstrate increasing developmental changes in their perception of place of articulation for stop consonants with short- and long-duration formant transitions. Children's improving discrimination abilities did not reach adult levels even at 10 years of age. (Author/DB)
