• Infants show a facilitation effect for native language phonetic perception between 6 and 12 months. (2006, methodology): “The findings of Tsao et al. (2004) and Kuhl et al. (2005) support the idea that the association between early phonetic perception and later language is causal, and suggest that the observed perceptual improvement in native language phonetic perception between 6 and 12 months is an important…”
• Phonetic learning as a pathway to language: new data and native language magnet theory expanded (NLM-e) (2008, background): “The native contrast (/ta–pa/) varied only in the critical acoustic features (initial formant transitions) that distinguish them for English listeners (Kuhl et al. 2005b).”
• Computational modeling of phonetic and lexical learning in early language acquisition: Existing models and future directions (2012, background): “, [52,53], see also [24] and references therein for a more comprehensive review on the topic).”
