Abstract in brief

  • Infants between 6 and 12 months show improved ability to perceive their native language sounds, while their ability to perceive nonnative sounds declines during this period.
  • The study found that language experience in the first year helps infants become better at recognizing native language phonetics and that this process is consistent across different cultures, such as the United States and Japan.
  • The research suggests that neural commitment to native language sounds drives these developmental changes, and it also uncovers asymmetries in perception between different types of consonant sounds that remain stable over time.
