Theta brain rhythms index perceptual narrowing in infant speech perception
The development of speech perception shows a dramatic transition between infancy and adulthood. Between 6 and 12 months, infants' initial ability to discriminate all phonetic units across the world's languages narrows-native discrimination increases while non-native discrimination shows a steep decline. We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to examine whether brain oscillations in the theta band...
متن کاملNarrowing of intersensory speech perception in infancy.
The conventional view is that perceptual/cognitive development is an incremental process of acquisition. Several striking findings have revealed, however, that the sensitivity to non-native languages, faces, vocalizations, and music that is present early in life declines as infants acquire experience with native perceptual inputs. In the language domain, the decline in sensitivity is reflected ...
متن کاملSpeech perception - perceptual flexibility
This session will examine the notion of perceptual flexibility at two levels. During speech communication, listeners need to adapt to many different styles of speech: they hear speech produced by talkers with unfamiliar accents or non-standard articulation as well as speech that is degraded by many forms of noise or reverberation. Such perceptual flexibility is key to effective communication, y...
متن کاملInfant Speech Perception
“Universal Newborn Hearing Screening” law will result in many more infants identified with hearing loss. Thus, many more infants will receive interventions such as cochlear implants at a very young age. In order to evaluate the benefits of receiving cochlear implants during infancy, speech perception and language skills of infants who receive cochlear implants must be assessed. However, most cu...

Methods 1. High Amplitude Sucking (HAS) a. measures infant sucking rate during exposure to auditory stimuli in three phases i. acquisition phase–infants increase their sucking rate during initial exposure ii. habituation phase–point where experimenter might change the auditory stimulus iii. dishabituation phase–period where infants react to the change/continued stimulus b. used with infants fro...
