Phonemes are the building blocks of words. Acquiring phonemes is a difficult task, because infants are faced with the problem of invariance: speakers differ widely in how they produce their phonemes, yet in order to distill meaning, listeners need to ignore this variation. This project tests whether speaker-distinguishing mechanisms help infants to reduce this variability, thereby facilitating phoneme acquisition
