Perceptual flexibility: Maintenance or recovery of the ability to discriminate non-native speech sounds.

Tees, Richard C., Werker, Janet F.·1984·Canadian Journal of Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie

Abstract

Les auteurs examinent l'influence de l'entrainement prealable et de l'experience linguistique sur la perception d'un discours en langue etrangere. Dans la premiere experience, ils evaluent l'effet d'un entrainement en laboratoire sur l'habilete d'adultes anglophones a distinguer deux contrastes de langage utilises pour opposer deux significations en Hindi, mais non en Anglais. Dans la seconde experience la performance de 3 groupes d'adultes anglophones est examinee afin de determiner l'effet de l'etude de l'Hindi comme langue seconde pour differentes periodes de temps

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Although English speakers cannot discriminate the non-English distinctions under most testing conditions, they can differentiate the syllables according to Hindi and Thompson phonetic categories under some testing conditions.

    “Subsequent experiments have shown that although English speakers cannot discriminate these distinctions under most testing conditions (Tees & Werker, 1984), they can differentiate the syllables according to Hindi and Thompson phonetic categories under some testing conditions (Werker & Tees, 1984b).”

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.
