 This collection of current research in the development of speech
perception and perceptual learning documents the changes that take place
both in early childhood and throughout life and speculates about the
mechanisms responsible for those changes. The findings reported from
this field address the role of growing linguistic knowledge and
experience and demonstrate that speech perception develops in a
bidirectional interplay with several levels of linguistic structure and
cognitive process. AVAILABLE FOR DISCUSSION
