Prelinguistic infants are sensitive to space-pitch associations found across cultures.
People often talk about musical pitch using spatial metaphors. In English, for instance, pitches can be "high" or "low" (i.e., height-pitch association), whereas in other languages, pitches are described as "thin" or "thick" (i.e., thickness-pitch association). According to results from psychophysical studies, metaphors in language can shape people's nonlinguistic space-pitch representations. B...

People often talk about musical pitch in terms of spatial metaphors. In English, for instance, pitches can be high or low, whereas in other languages pitches are described as thick or thin. According to psychophysical studies, metaphors in language can also shape people’s nonlinguistic space-pitch representations.

متن کاملAre Young Infants Sensitive to Interpersonal Contingency?
Murray and Trevarthen (1985) provided what seemed to be strong evidence that 2-month old infants can discriminate a view of their mother interacting with them via TV either live or in a replay. This study has been widely cited as having important implications for early social development and the development of the self. Here we report two attempts to replicate it with additional controls. The f...
متن کاملInfants are Sensitive to Asynchronous Audiovisual Speech
The audiovisual speech signal, composed of both auditory and visual information, provides stable and correlated multimodal cues that infants can utilize when perceiving spoken language. Both sensory streams share amodal voicing onsets and offsets, intensities, amplitude contours, durations, and rhythmic patterning (Chandrasekaran, Trubanova, Stillittano, Caplier, & Ghazanfar, 2009). However, wh...
