....in this direction could be useful in other domains as well. 2.2 Early Infant Phonological Development Due to lack of space only a summary of some important aspects will be given mostly without reference to the rich literature of the field. The interested reader is kindly asked to refer to (Vihman, 1996, pp. 50 97) for a thorough introduction. The perceptual capacities of infants are not the same for consonants and vowels. Even though this work is concerned with (an abstraction of) vowels a summary on consonants is also included. 2.2.1 Consonants With this respect we have a relatively clear ....

....are known to it at the start. The program initially allows all combinations of these to be used, and gradually adds restrictions as learning progresses. In contrast, a child initially uses a restricted phoneme and word inventory, and gradually increases the complexity of the constructions they use (Vihman, 1996; Harley, 1995) It would still be possible to investigate the various stages which the program goes through, and discover, for example, the order in which various constructions and restrictions are determined. This might give us some insight into why children learn in the way they do, and why ....

....model based on the discrepancies between these predictions and the actual resulting acoustics. In the infant, we assume that a articulatory acoustic forward model develops primarily as a result of canonical and variegated babbling in the second half of the first year (Fry, 1966; Oller, 1980; see Vihman, 1996, for review, and Houde, 1997; Wolpert, Ghahramani, Jordan, 1995, for empirical evidence supporting the existence of forward models in human motor learning) Note that the strong reliance on learning within the current approach contrasts sharply with accounts in which the perceptuomotor ....
....sequence. Although, in actuality, the onset of babbling precedes clear attempts at imitation, and falls off as production skill increases, the model engages in both babbling and imitation throughout training. Babbling and early word production do, in fact, overlap in time to a large degree (see Vihman, 1996), and the phonetic inventory that children use when beginning to produce words is drawn largely from the inventory of sounds produced during babbling (Vihman Miller, 1988) Moreover, some babble like utterances may result from undeveloped speech skills during attempts to imitate or intentionally ....
