Berdasco-Muñoz, Elena; Nazzi, Thierry; Yeung, H. Henny – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Preterm birth (<37 gestational weeks) is associated with long-term risks for health and neurodevelopment, but recently, studies have also started exploring how preterm birth affects early language development in the 1st year of life. Because the timing and quality of auditory and visual input is very different for preterm versus full-term…

Issues in Human Auditory Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Werner, Lynne A. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2007
The human auditory system is often portrayed as precocious in its development. In fact, many aspects of basic auditory processing appear to be adult-like by the middle of the first year of postnatal life. However, processes such as attention and sound source determination take much longer to develop. Immaturity of higher-level processes limits the…

Can Children and Adults Focus on Sound as Opposed to Spelling in a Phoneme Counting Task?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Treiman, Rebecca; Cassar, Marie – Developmental Psychology, 1997
Two experiments used phoneme counting tasks to investigate the foundations of phonemic awareness. Found that first graders and college students had some ability to distinguish between monophthongs (as in "he") and diphthongs (as in "how"), and they tended to count fewer "sounds" for syllables ending with the more…

Auditory Processing in Children's Speech Perception: Results of Selective Adaptation and Discrimination Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sussman, Joan E. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
Ten children (ages 5-6) and 10 adults participated in discrimination and selective adaptation speech perception tasks using a synthetic consonant-vowel continuum. Results support hypotheses of sensory processing differences in younger, normally developing children compared with adults and show that such abilities appear to be related to speech…

Persistence of Memory for Ignored Lists of Digits: Areas of Developmental Constancy and Change.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cowan, Nelson; Nugent, Lara D.; Elliott, Emily M.; Saults, J. Scott – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2000
Examined persistence of sensory memory by studying developmental differences in recall of attended and ignored lists of digits for second-graders, fifth-graders, and adults. Found developmental increase in the persistence of memory only for the final item in an ignored list, which is the item for which sensory memory is thought to be the most…
