婴儿早期语音知觉被认为在语言发展中起着重要的作用。以前的研究没有评估生命最初2年的这种潜在联系。在这项研究中，言语歧视的测量在6个月大的婴儿使用条件性转头任务。在13、16和24个月大时，使用麦克阿瑟沟通发展量表对这些儿童的语言发展进行评估。结果表明，在6个月大的言语知觉和以后的语言（单词理解，单词生产，短语理解）之间的显着相关性。6个月时的言语知觉表现预测2岁时的语言能力，这一发现支持了语音知觉在语言习得中可能起重要作用的观点。
Infants' early phonetic perception is hypothesized to play an important role in language development. Previous studies have not assessed this potential link in the first 2 years of life. In this study, speech discrimination was measured in 6-month-old infants using a conditioned head-turn task. At 13, 16, and 24 months of age, language development was assessed in these same children using the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory. Results demonstrated significant correlations between speech perception at 6 months of age and later language (word understanding, word production, phrase understanding). The finding that speech perception performance at 6 months predicts language at 2 years supports the idea that phonetic perception may play an important role in language acquisition.
