Even with years of practice, adult learners have trouble perceiving and producing sounds in a second language (L2). Adults tend to need more focused and targeted input to achieve native-like perception and production of L2 sounds than children. The present study aims to clarify the mechanisms through which L2 perception is influenced by first language (L1) sounds, the neural basis of this perception, how learner differences influence learning, and how different training paradigms modulate both the neural and behavioral basis of L2 sound perception. Native English and native Spanish speakers participated in a five-day training paradigm during which they learned to discriminate Hindi sounds that do not belong to their L1 sound categories. Par...
