Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Courtney A. Filippi; Elizabeth Smith; Elizabeth Redcay; Heather Hazlett; Lauren Thompson; Stacy S. Manwaring; Precilla D'Souza; Audrey Thurm – Infant and Child Development, 2025
While studies have documented neural correlates of language delay in toddlers with developmental conditions, those at genetic risk for language delay, and those born premature, no studies have examined neural correlates in toddlers exhibiting early language delay without known aetiology. This study examines brain morphometry in toddlers with and…

What Is It Like to Be a Person Who Knows Nothing? Defining the Active Intersubjective Mind of a Newborn Human Being
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Trevarthen, Colwyn – Infant and Child Development, 2011
As thinking adults depend upon years of practical experience, reasoning about facts and causes, and language to sustain their knowledge, beliefs and memories, and to understand one another, it seems quite absurd to suggest that a newborn infant has intersubjective mental capacities. But detailed research on how neonatal selves coordinate the…

Four Themes from 20 Years of Research on Infant Perception and Cognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bremner, J. Gavin – Infant and Child Development, 2011
This paper reviews progress over the past 20 years in four areas of research on infant perception and cognition. Work on perception of dynamic events has identified perceptual constraints on perception of object unity and object trajectory continuity that have led to a perceptual account of early development that supplements Nativist accounts.…

Fetal Magnetoencephalography--Achievements and Challenges in the Study of Prenatal and Early Postnatal Brain Responses: A Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sheridan, Carolin J.; Matuz, Tamara; Draganova, Rossitza; Eswaran, Hari; Preissl, Hubert – Infant and Child Development, 2010
Fetal magnetoencephalography (fMEG) is the only non-invasive method for investigating evoked brain responses and spontaneous brain activity generated by the fetus "in utero". Fetal auditory as well as visual-evoked fields have been successfully recorded in basic stimulus-response studies. Moreover, paradigms investigating precursors for cognitive…

Building Blocks of Fetal Cognition: Emotion and Language
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Huotilainen, Minna – Infant and Child Development, 2010
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) can be effectively used to record fetal and neonatal cognitive abilities/functions by recording completely non-invasively the magnetic fields produced by the active neurons in the brain. During the last trimester and the first months of life, the cognitive capabilities related to emotion recognition and language…

From Imitation to Conversation: The First Dialogues with Human Neonates
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nagy, Emese – Infant and Child Development, 2006
The functional maturity of the newborn infant's brain, the resemblances between neonatal imitation and imitation in adults and the possibly lateralized neonatal imitation suggest that the mirror neuron system may contribute to neonatal imitation. Newborn infants not only imitate but also initiate previously imitated gestures, and are able to…
