Question 19 • LHS-Psychology (1 cr.)

Research indicates that infants can distinguish more phonemes from languages all over the world than adults.

Answer
A
T
B
F

Explanation

The statement is true. Young infants can distinguish many speech sounds, including phoneme contrasts that are not used in the languages they hear. As they grow, they become more attuned to the sounds in their own language and may lose sensitivity to some contrasts used elsewhere. Therefore, “T” is the correct choice.
