The purpose of this study is to examine how accurately English-speaking learners of Spanish store Spanish words in their mental dictionaries. In particular, the study focuses on the sounds /p, t, and k/ in Spanish, which are more similar to /b, d, and g/ in English. This research aims to understand how these differences affect language learning.
Participants will undergo procedures to test their understanding and storage of Spanish words. The study will involve listening to and repeating Spanish words to analyze how these sounds are processed and remembered. This will help determine the accuracy of word storage in the participants' mental dictionaries.
- Who can participate: Participants should be English-speaking individuals aged 18 and above who are learning Spanish.
- Study details: Participants will listen to and repeat Spanish words to allow researchers to analyze sound processing and memory storage. This will involve comparing the sounds of Spanish and English to understand their impact on language learning.
