Abstract
Twelve Portuguese illiterate adults were required to delete the initial consonant of a spoken pseudoword and were provided with both explicit instructions and continuous corrective feedback. Nine of them displayed rapid improvements in performance. This suggests that there is no critical period for acquiring the ability of segmental analysis of speech.Keywords
