The research project aimed at determining how Japanese-learning infants process words within the speech stream before they hit their first anniversary.Two experiments were conducted. The first one behaviorally tested 16 6-month-olds. We did not show any evidence that they were able to segment bisyllabic bimoraic words. Since the behavioral method might have been the cause of not seeing the expected results, we conducted a second experiment, using ERPs, on 31 participants. The ERP analyses showed that Japanese-learning 6-month-olds are able to recognize and extract word form from the speech stream. This is the first time that segmentation abilities are observed this young in Japanese infants. It appears that segmentation is enhanced when the parents are engaged in social interactions.

该研究项目旨在确定学习日语的婴儿在一周岁之前如何处理语音流中的单词。进行了两项实验。第一个对 1​​6 名 6 个月大的孩子进行了行为测试。我们没有提供任何证据表明他们能够分割双音节双摩拉词。由于行为方法可能是没有看到预期结果的原因，我们使用 ERP 对 31 名参与者进行了第二次实验。 ERP 分析表明，学习日语的 6 个月大的孩子能够识别并从语音流中提取单词形式。这是第一次在日本婴儿中观察到这么小的分割能力。当父母参与社交互动时，分割似乎会得到加强。
