Fricative Discrimination in Early Infancy
Abstract
In three separate experiments using controlled natural stimuli and a high-amplitude sucking paradigm, infants' ability to detect differences between /s/ and /v/, /s/ and /∫/, and /s/ and /z/, respectively, was investigated. Evidence for discrimination was obtained for /s/ versus /v/ and /s/ versus /∫/ but not for /s/ versus /z/. Implications for a theory of infant speech perception are discussed.

“Furthermore, evidence has shown that infants can make virtually all of the consonantal discriminations that have been tested (Kuhl, 1987), including Ivai from Isal (Eilers & Minifie, 1975; Eilers, Wilson, & Moore, 1977) and Ivai from loal (Levitt, Jusczyk, Murray, & Carden, 1988).”

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.
