Infants 18 to 20 weeks old recognize the correspondence between auditorially and visually presented speech sounds, and the spectral information contained in the sounds is critical to the detection of these correspondences. Some infants imitated the sounds presented during the experiment. Both the ability to detect auditory-visual correspondences and the tendency to imitate may reflect the infant's knowledge of the relationship between audition and articulation.
18至20周大的婴儿能够识别听觉和视觉呈现的语音之间的对应关系，并且声音中包含的频谱信息对于检测这些对应关系至关重要。一些婴儿模仿了实验过程中呈现的声音。检测视听对应关系的能力和模仿倾向都可能反映出婴儿对听觉和发音之间关系的认知。
