Zusammenfassung:	The attempts of "intelligible" and "unintelligible" children at syllables beginning with r were compared to determine along what acoustic dimensions they differed.

These comparisons suggested that children may be trying to match the appropriate distinctive features in adult speech rather than absolute values.
