Adult performance on non-native contrasts can be increased by techniques that minimize memory effects, extensive training, and use of contrasts not related to native-language categories.
“Adult performance on non-native contrasts could be increased by a number of factors: (i) the use of techniques that minimize the effects of memory (33, 34), (ii) extensive training (35, 36), and (iii) the use of contrasts, such as Zulu clicks, that are not related to native-language categories (37, 38).”
From A new view of language acquisition (2000) · cites this paper as [37]
A speech sound from a foreign language that is similar, but not identical, to one in the subject's native language is perceptually assimilated to the native-language sound.
“These studies suggest that a speech sound from a foreign language that is similar, but not identical, to one in the subject's native language is perceptually assimilated to the native-languagesound (Best, McRoberts, & Sithole, 1988;Flege, 1987).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
