Case Study

Infant Language Perception Study

A developmental psychology lab is conducting an experiment. They present two infants from monolingual English-speaking homes with a pair of distinct sounds from the Hindi language that do not exist in English. Infant A is 6 months old, and Infant B is 11 months old. Based on your understanding of early auditory development, which infant is more likely to successfully distinguish between the two Hindi sounds? Explain the specific developmental process that accounts for this difference.
