以前的研究表明，英语/r/与日语/r/的感知差异比英语/l/更大。语音学习模型已经提出，L2声音（语音段）离最近的L1语音声音越远，L2声音将越可学习（在：W. Strange（Ed.），言语知觉和语言经验：跨语言研究中的问题，约克出版社，提摩尼姆，医学博士，1995年，第233页）。本研究通过调查新泽西州的英语使用者是否更容易习得英语/r/而不是/l/来评估这一假设。一项纵向研究探讨了感知（实验1）和生产（实验2）的英语/l/，/r/，和/w/由新泽西州的成年人和儿童谁是生活在美国的时间测试。结果表明，NJ儿童的英语/r/比英语/l/有更大的提高。NJ儿童对/l/-/r/和/r/-/w/的辨别力在第二次测试（T2）时显著优于1年前（T1）。从T1到T2，NJ儿童在产生/r/方面也表现出比/l/更大的改善。研究结果支持了语音学习模型的一个假设。Strange（Ed.），言语知觉和语言经验：跨语言研究中的问题，约克出版社，提摩尼姆，医学博士，1995年，第233页）认为，知觉到的语音相异程度影响第二语言学习者在习得第二语言语音片段方面的成功。(C)2003爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Previous research has demonstrated that English /r/ is perceptually more dissimilar from Japanese /r/ than English /l/ is for native Japanese (NJ) speakers. It has been proposed by the Speech Learning Model that the more distant an L2 sound (phonetic segment) is from the closest L1 speech sound, the more learnable the L2 sound will be (in: W. Strange (Ed.), Speech Perception and Linguistic Experience: Issues in Cross-language Research, York Press, Timonium, MD, 1995, p. 233). This hypothesis was evaluated in this study by investigating whether NJ speakers will have more success acquiring English /r/ than /l/. A longitudinal study examined the perception (Experiment 1) and production (Experiment 2) of English /l/, /r/, and /w/ by NJ adults and children who were living in the US at the time of testing. The results suggested that there was greater improvement for English /r/ than English /l/ among the NJ children. The NJ children's discrimination of /l/-/r/ and /r/-/w/ was significantly better at the second testing (T2) than 1 year earlier (T1). The NJ children also showed greater improvement from T1 to T2 in producing /r/ than /l/. The results are taken as support for a hypothesis of the Speech Learning Model (in: W. Strange (Ed.), Speech Perception and Linguistic Experience: Issues in Cross-language Research, York Press, Timonium, MD, 1995, p. 233) that degree of perceived phonetic dissimilarity influences L2 learners' success in acquiring L2 phonetic segments.
