| Abstract | In Experiment I, 10 5.0-5.9 yr old, 10 7.0-7.9 yr old, and 10 18-33 yr old subjects listened to a stimulus and reported their phonetic perception individually to examine the effect of rounded and unrounded vowels on the perception of [s] and [integral]. In Experiment II, 14 2nd graders in speech therapy for a maximum of one year who had incorrect production of initial [s] and/or [integral] engaged in the same procedure as in Experiment I. Results show that all three groups of children demonstrated a context effect equivalent to that of adults and independent of age and articulation ability. It is concluded that productive mastery of [s] and [integral] is not critically responsible for perception of the [s]^[integral] distinction or for perceptual sensitivity to the consequences of sibilant vowel coarticulation. |
