'Categorical perception' refers to adults' ability to discriminate between sounds based on which feature?

At what age do infants typically lose the ability to discriminate sounds that are not relevant to their native language?

What do infants rely on more between 8-11 months to infer word boundaries in fluent speech?

Infants that haven't formed perceptual categories of sound are more likely to discriminate than adults due to:
