Linguistic experience alters phonetic perception in infants by 6 months of age.

P K Kuhl¹, K A Williams, F Lacerda, K N Stevens, B Lindblom.

Abstract

Linguistic experience affects phonetic perception. However, the critical period during which experience affects perception and the mechanism responsible for these effects are unknown. This study of 6-month-old infants from two countries, the United States and Sweden, shows that exposure to a specific language in the first half year of life alters infants' phonetic perception.
