Abstract
Phoneme discrimination refers to the ability to distinguish the vowels and consonants, also known as phonemes, which form the words of a language. For instance, English speakers know that the consonants /b/ and /t/ are part of the English consonant repertoire and that they distinguish words such as boy and toy.
