This article reviews research on when acoustic-phonetic variability facilitates, inhibits, or does not impact perceptual development for spoken language, to illuminate mechanisms by which variability aids learning of language sound patterns. We first summarize structures and sources of variability. We next present proposed mechanisms to account for how and why variability impacts learning. Finally, we review effects of variability in the domains of speech-sound category and pattern learning; word-form recognition and word learning; and accent processing. Variability can be helpful, harmful, or neutral depending on the learner's age and learning objective. Irrelevant variability can facilitate children's learning, particularly for early learning of words and phonotactic rules. For speech-sound change detection and word-form recognition, children seem either unaffected or impaired by irrelevant variability. At the same time, inclusion of variability in training can aid generalization. Variability between accents may slow learning—but with the longer-term benefits of improved comprehension of multiple accents. By highlighting accent as a form of acoustic-phonetic variability and considering impacts of dialect prestige on children's learning, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of how exposure to multiple accents impacts language development and may have implications for literacy development.

声学语音变异对口语感知发展的影响：综述

本文回顾了声学语音变异性何时促进、抑制或不影响口语感知发展的研究，以阐明变异性帮助学习语言声音模式的机制。我们首先总结变异性的结构和来源。接下来，我们提出了解释可变性如何以及为何影响学习的机制。最后，我们回顾了语音类别和模式学习领域中变异性的影响；词形识别和单词学习；和重音处理。根据学习者的年龄和学习目标，可变性可能是有益的、有害的或中性的。不相关的变化可以促进儿童的学习，特别是对于单词和语音规则的早期学习。对于语音变化检测和词形识别，儿童似乎不受不相关变化的影响或受到损害。同时，在训练中包含可变性可以帮助泛化。口音之间的差异可能会减慢学习速度，但提高对多种口音的理解力会带来长期好处。通过强调口音是声学语音变异的一种形式，并考虑方言声望对儿童学习的影响，我们希望有助于更好地理解多种口音如何影响语言发展，并可能对识字能力发展产生影响。
