Adult listeners are able to differentiate between and can often identify samples of languages they do not speak or understand. This experiment tried to determine if children are capable of recognizing differences between spoken samples of languages foreign to them. Two groups of children, one pre-school and the other first and second-graders were asked to listen to pairs; language samples and simply state if they were the same or different languages. College students were the same used as the control group to provide baseline data. B0th the pre-school and the elementary school groups perform comparably to the adult group when the languages within the pair differ. However, when the token consisted of anyone of three conditions varying per or phrase of the same language, the pre-school group's performance was significantly worse that, the elementary group or the adult control group which did not differ greatly from each other. The III8er performance level of the pre-school group indicates that they have not developed the linguistic f8I/tJICSS required for analyzing how the samples differ. Presumably, a developmental change which occurs with increased exposure to language in middle childhood promotes this analytical aspect of linguistic awareness.
