Infants' Perception of Melodies: The Role of Melodic Contour.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Trehub, Sandra E.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Two experiments involving a total of 177 infants 8 to 11 months of age found that subjects used a global processing strategy like adults' in discriminating transformations of a six-tone melody. Subjects needed melodic contour and frequency range to judge new sequences, but, in easy tasks, they also used absolute frequency. (CB)

Some Effects of Laboratory Training on Identification and Discrimination of Voicing Contrasts in Stop Consonants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pisconi, David B.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1982
Three experiments examined the perception of a three-way voicing contrast by monolingual speakers of English. The results demonstrate that the perceptual mechanisms used by adults in categorizing stop consonants can be modified easily with simple laboratory techniques in a short period of time. (Author/PN)

Infants' Perception of the Audible, Visible, and Bimodal Attributes of Multimodal Syllables.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewkowicz, David J. – Child Development, 2000
Three experiments investigated 4-, 6-, and 8-month-olds' perception of the audible, visible, and combined attributes of bimodally specified syllables. Results suggested that at 4 months, infants attended primarily to the featural information, at 6 months primarily to the asynchrony, and at 8 months to both features independently. (Author/KB)
