Individual Variation in Infant Speech Processing: Implications for Language Acquisition Theories
Direct linkDirect link
Cristia, Alejandrina – ProQuest LLC, 2009
To what extent does language acquisition recruit domain-general processing mechanisms? In this dissertation, evidence concerning this question is garnered from the study of individual differences in infant speech perception and their predictive value with respect to language development in early childhood. In the first experiment, variation in the…
