Evaluation of a Technique for Training New Speech Contrasts: Generalization across Voices, but Not Word-Position or Task.

Morosan, David E.; Jamieson, Donald G.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v32 n3 p501-11 Sep 1989

A perceptual fading technique was used to teach unilingual adult Canadian francophones to identify the voiceless and voiced linguadental fricatives of English. After just 90 minutes of training, subjects were better able to identify both the training stimuli and an untrained set of natural consonant-vowel exemplars produced by 4 different speakers.
