Document Summary
They should already have vocabulary in order to know which cues to listen to) Relationship between syllables within the same word = strong. Very weak relationship between of and other words that follow it (there are lots of other things that can be followed by of ) Synthetic speech (no phonotactic cues, no stress, no pauses) Only thing that the baby is likely to be using is how likely that one syllable follows the other syllable. Heard string of sounds (string of syllables) Adults (choose which words sound more familiar/more like a word to them) Results (when babies listened after 2 minutes of listening to the streams, the babies discriminated to the trials, and wanted to listen to the part-words than the words) They were able to tell whether they heard a word or a part-word. They got bored of listening to the words so they were able to discriminate the part-words (new words)
