Rhythm discrimination and metronome tapping in 4-year-old children at risk for developmental dyslexia
(Cognitive Development, 2021)
Temporally accurate perception and production of rhythmic patterns are key factors related to
language development and reading acquisition. Here we investigate rhythm discrimination and
rhythm production in children who ...
Prosodic cues in infant-directed speech facilitate young children’s conversational turn predictions
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2020)
Experienced language users are able to predict when conversational
turns approach completion, which allows them to attend
to and comprehend their interlocutor’s speech while planning
and accurately timing their response. ...
Delayed development of phonological constancy in toddlers at family risk for dyslexia
(Infant Behavior and Development, 2019)
Phonological constancy refers to infants’ ability to disregard variations in the phonetic realisation of speech sounds that do not indicate lexical
contrast, e.g., when listening to accented speech. In typically-developing ...
Integrating Bilingualism, Verbal Fluency, and Executive Functioning across the Lifespan
(Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019)
Bilingual experience has an impact on an individual’s linguistic processing
and general cognitive abilities. The relation between these
linguistic and non-linguistic domains, in turn, is mediated by individual
linguistic ...
Infant‐directed speech to infants at risk for dyslexia: A novel cross‐dyad design
(Wiley, 2020)
When mothers speak to infants at risk for developmental dyslexia, they do not hyperarticulate vowels in their infant‐directed speech (IDS). Here, we used an innovative cross‐dyad design to investigate whether the absence ...
The Role of Paired Associate Learning in Acquiring Letter-Sound Correspondences: A Longitudinal Study of Children at Family Risk for Dyslexia
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)
Visual-verbal-paired associate learning (PAL) is strongly related to reading acquisition, possibly indexing a distinct cross-modal mechanism for learning letter-sound associations. We measured linguistic abilities (nonword ...
Language development in infants with hearing loss: Benefits of infant-directed speech
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
The majority of infants with permanent congenital hearing loss fall significantly behind their
normal hearing peers in the development of receptive and expressive oral communication skills.
Independent of any prosthetic ...
Seeing a Talking Face Matters: Gaze Behavior and the Auditory–Visual Speech Benefit in Adults’ Cortical Tracking of Infant-directed Speech
(MIT PRESS, 2023)
In face-to-face conversations, listeners gather visual speech information from a speaker's talking face that enhances their perception of the incoming auditory speech signal. This auditory-visual (AV) speech benefit is ...
Effects of maternal depression on maternal responsiveness and infants’ expressive language abilities
(PLOS, 2023)
High levels of maternal responsiveness are associated with healthy cognitive and emotional
development in infants. However, depression and anxiety can negatively impact individual
mothers’ responsiveness levels and ...
Bilingual Infants Readily Orient to Novel Visual Stimuli
(APA, 2023)
Bilingualism has been shown to modify infants’ responses in a range of domains. In particular, early bilingual experience is associated with greater flexibility and openness in infant perception and learning. In this study, ...
