Preschoolers’ Sensitivity to Abstract Relations Among Sets

The effects of syllable boundary and context on word recognition in Korean continuous speech
International Journal of Intelligent Information and Database Systems, 2014 We examined resyllabification cost in spoken word recognition in Korean and found an interaction between syllable boundary and context at the lexical level.
