Objectives and methods: Mismatch negativities (MMN) to frequency and duration changes in a series of repetitive tones and to two different consonant-vowel syllables (ba and ga, standard da) were recorded in a test and retest session in 15 children aged 7±11 years. Reliability within one session and stability between the sessions of MMN amplitudes and the ERP-components P1 and N1 were determined...

This study addresses the question to which extent phonetic contrasts of a foreign language are perceived more easily by speakers of a native language that shares similar phonetic categories. The focus lies on two post-alveolar and two palatal affricates of Serbian: [tʃ] (post-alveolar, voiceless), [ʨ] (alveolo-palatal, voiceless), [ʤ] (post-alveolar, voiced) and [ʥ] (alveolo-palatal, voiced).
