Abstrakt: A variant of the non-nutritive sucking method was explored to test 2-month-old infants' perception of whole sentences. Three consecutive high-amplitude sucks were required to trigger one sentence, and each subject was submitted to two changes in stimulation, one experimental (language change) and one control (speaker change). The results were significant, showing that the procedure is appropriate for the study of language perception in 2-month-old infants.
