Human infants (2 mo. old) apparently had the ability to distinguish syllables differing only in their final segments. Infants were sensitive to place-of-articulation differences for stop consonants in final segments of consonant-vowel-consonant and vowel-consonant syllable pairs. Contrary to previous reports for older infants, there was no indication that 2 mo. olds had any more difficulty with contrasts of final-stop consonants than they did with initial ones.
