Abstract
Both 6-year-old children and adults showed as good performance on a syllable identification task for a test condition having more trials per test run and a lower overall level of positive reinforcement as they did for a condition with fewer trials per test run and a higher, overall level of positive reinforcement. Differences between identification thresholds of children and adults are interpreted as reflecting age-related differences in speech processing rather than differences in responding to the test situation.Keywords
