Stimuli containing voiced or voiceless stops occurring after [s] were presented in the form of a spelling test to child and adult subjects. Responses indicate that the child's perceptual categorization of these phones undergoes a change during his internalization of the rules of English orthography, i.e. at the age of 7 or 8. Results also suggest that the value of the feature of voicing assigned to these stops may not be the same for all places of articulation.
