New Paper: Talker Generalization in Non-Native Speech Learning Requires Sleep!

Posted on by

We’ve got a new paper out in JASA reporting on the conditions that are required for learners to generalize learning of a non-native contrast from a trained talker to a novel talker  (spoiler alert: sleep matters).
