Two Procedures for Training a Novel Second Language Phonetic Contrast.

Flege, James Emil

Applied Psycholinguistics, v16 n4 p425-42 Dec 1995

Evaluated two training methods that might be used to increase Mandarin adults' accuracy in identifying final /t/ and /d/ as stops in English. Results indicate that the effects of training generalized to words that were not used in training, and subjects maintained the effects of same/different training better than those of identification training.
