Langus, Alan; Boll-Avetisyan, Natalie; van Ommen, Sandrien; Nazzi, Thierry – Developmental Science, 2023
Rhythm perception helps young infants find structure in both speech and music. However, it remains unknown whether categorical perception of suprasegmental linguistic rhythm signaled by a co-variation of multiple acoustic cues can be modulated by prior between- (music) and within-domain (language) experience. Here we tested 6-month-old…

Shi, Jinyu; Gu, Yan; Vigliocco, Gabriella – Developmental Science, 2023
Child-directed language can support language learning, but how? We addressed two questions: (1) how caregivers prosodically modulated their speech as a function of word familiarity (known or unknown to the child) and accessibility of referent (visually present or absent from the immediate environment); (2) whether such modulations affect…

Esteve-Gibert, Núria; Loevenbruck, Hélène; Dohen, Marion; D'Imperio, Mariapaola – Developmental Science, 2022
Previous evidence suggests that children's mastery of prosodic modulations to signal the informational status of discourse referents emerges quite late in development. In the present study, we investigate the children's use of head gestures as it compares to prosodic cues to signal a referent as being contrastive relative to a set of possible…

Alexopoulos, Johanna; Giordano, Vito; Janda, Charlotte; Benavides-Varela, Silvia; Seidl, Rainer; Doering, Stephan; Berger, Angelika; Bartha-Doering, Lisa – Developmental Science, 2021
Auditory speech discrimination is essential for normal language development. Children born preterm are at greater risk of language developmental delays. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy at term-equivalent age, the present study investigated early discrimination of speech prosody in 62 neonates born between week 23 and 41 of gestational…
