This project investigates effects of variable input on the establishment of phonological word representations in first language acquisition. Experiments with 14-month-old children will study word learning under different conditions of variability testing the hypothesis that only specific types of variability foster the recognition of phonologically relevant acoustic dimensions in the speech signal. Stimuli will be used that a) follow or violate relations of covariability between different phonetic dimensions as observed in natural language and that b) provide or do not provide informative phonetically variable contexts. Measurements of pupil dilation and eye movement patterns during word processing will be obtained.
