Multiple comparisons of the L1 × Japanese proficiency interaction showed that the perceptual sensitivity of Japanese singleton/geminate contrasts for CSL was significantly higher than MSL when learners were at the beginner level ( p < 0.001), while the difference between the advanced groups of MSL and CSL occurred but failed to reach significance ( p = 0.225).
