Abstract
Infant discrimination of synthetic voiced stop consonants, contrasting in place of articulation, was investigated using the high‐amplitude sucking paradigm. Discrimination of [dα]−[gα] contrasts, with and without release bursts, was compared. The results provide some evidence that the presence of a burst facilitates place discrimination by infants, perhaps by enchancing integrated spectral propertiescharacteristic of the individual stop consonants.
