Daytime naps consolidate Cantonese tone learning through promoting cross-talker perception
This study investigates whether daytime naps facilitate perceptual learning of Cantonese tones and how prior knowledge mediates the consolidation effect. Ninety Mandarin native speakers were pseudo-randomly assigned to either a nap group, who napped for 1.5 h with brain activities recorded, or the non-nap group, who rested for 1.5 h. They were trained with Cantonese contour-level tonal contrasts and level-level tonal contrasts, followed by a tone…
The role of prior knowledge in second-language learners' overnight consolidation of Cantonese tones
This study examines the role of prior (tonal) knowledge in memory consolidation of non-native tones after an overnight sleep. While memory consolidation is beneficial in learning new sounds in a second language, only new linguistic information consistent with the existing knowledge is often prioritized for consolidation. What remains unclear from the research is whether prior tonal knowledge from a native language (i.e., pitch contour signaling t…
