Lucilla Cardinali; Cristina Becchio; Lara Coelho; Monica Gori – Developmental Science, 2025
The present study assessed the structural and functional representation of the upper limb in a large cohort (N = 84) of typically developing children aged 6 to 10. The first task aimed at obtaining a structural measure of the representation of the arm, specifically the two segments that compose it: the forearm and the hand. Participants were asked…

Developmental science has experienced a vivid debate on whether young children prioritize goals over means in their prediction of others' actions. Influential developmental theories highlight the role of goal objects for action understanding. Yet, recent infant studies report evidence for the opposite. The empirical evidence is therefore…

It is known that the rhythms of speech are visible on the face, accurately mirroring changes in the vocal tract. These low-frequency visual temporal movements are tightly correlated with speech output, and both visual speech (e.g., mouth motion) and the acoustic speech amplitude envelope entrain neural oscillations. Low-frequency visual temporal…
