Abstract
Japanese adults and Spanish-Catalan children received auditory phonetic training for English vowels using a novel paradigm, a version of the common children's card game Concentration. Individuals played a computer-based game in which they turned over pairs of cards to match spoken words, drawn from sets of vowel minimal pairs. The training was effective for adults, improving vowel recognition in a game that did not explicitly require identification. Children likewise improved over time on the memory card game, but not on the present generalisation task. This gamified training method can serve as a platform for examining development and perceptual learning.
