  • Title: Overnight consolidation promotes generalization across talkers in the identification of nonnative speech sounds.
    Author: Earle FS, Myers EB.
    Journal: J Acoust Soc Am; 2015 Jan; 137(1):EL91-7. PubMed ID: 25618106.
    Abstract:
    This investigation explored the generalization of phonetic learning across talkers following training on a nonnative (Hindi dental and retroflex) contrast. Participants were trained in two groups, either in the morning or in the evening. Discrimination and identification performance was assessed in the trained talker and an untrained talker three times over 24 h following training. Results suggest that overnight consolidation promotes generalization across talkers in identification, but not necessarily discrimination, of nonnative speech sounds.
