Abstract
Twenty adult listeners were presented with electronically gated segments from nine voiceless stop + vowel syllables spoken by a 4•2-year-old child and by an adult. Listener recognition of syllabic and sub-syllabic segments for both the child and adult-speaker tasks reveal patterns of relative perceptual cue distribution similar to previous data reported by LaRiviere et al. (1975).Recognition percentages were consistently lower across all gating conditions in the child-speaker task. Implications regarding maturational influences on encoding and coarticulatory behavior are discussed.
