A comprehensive collection of current research in the development of speech perception and perceptual learning, documenting the striking changes that take place both in early childhood and throughout life and speculating about the mechanisms responsible for those changes. The findings reported 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 processes.
