Describe infant speech perception during the first year of life
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will be similar to the following:
Infants can distinguish many phonemes (such as "t" and "e") as early as 1 month after birth. Infants can discriminate speech sounds they have never heard before, such as those that are not used in the language spoken in their home. They will lose this ability sometime around 1 year of age. This suggests that although they are biologically capable of hearing the entire range of phonemes, they begin to notice only the linguistic distinctions that are spoken in the language to which they are exposed. Infants are able to identify recurring patterns of sounds — words. They pay more attention to words they have heard repeatedly than to words they have not previously heard.
