Answer 1

Speech Segmentation

Step-by-step explanation:

Speech segmentation refers to the organization of the sounds of speech into individual words. Thus, it involves the process of distinguishing the limit between each phoneme, syllable and word so that sequences of sounds are not perceived as one long single word. In Carlos' case, he was unable to identify how phonemes are connected to form different words and phrases.
