Perception of Acoustic Correlates of Major Phrasal Units by Young Infants.

Jusczyk, Peter W.; And Others

Cognitive Psychology, v24 n2 p252-93 Apr 1992

Six experiments involving 192 infants and 1 experiment with 16 college students examined sensitivity to acoustic correlates of phrasal units in English. A basic finding is that nine-month-old infants are sensitive to acoustic markers that correspond to major phrasal units, a sensitivity that develops after six months. (SLD)
