Statistical learning enables learners to extract the environmental regularities necessary to
piece together the structure of their worlds. The capacity for statistical learning and its …

Understanding how we come to make sense of our environments requires understanding
both how we take in new information and how we flexibly process and store that information …

Infants prefer to be addressed with infant-directed speech (IDS). IDS benefits language
acquisition through amplified low-frequency amplitude modulations. It has been reported …

Growing evidence is demonstrating the connection between the microbiota gut-brain axis
and neurodevelopment. Microbiota colonization occurs before the maturation of many …

During speech processing, neural activity in non-autistic adults and infants tracks the speech
envelope. Recent research in adults indicates that this neural tracking relates to linguistic …

The ability to extract rhythmic structure is important for the development of language, music,
and social communication. Although previous studies show infants9 brains entrain to the …

Despite shared procedures with adults, electroencephalography (EEG) in early
development presents many specificities that need to be considered for good quality data …

From auditory rhythm patterns, listeners extract the underlying steady beat and perceptually
group beats to form metres. While previous studies show infants discriminate different …

During the early postnatal years, most infants rapidly learn to understand two naturally
evolved communication systems: language and emotion. While these two domains include …

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive and painless recording of cerebral activity,
particularly well-suited for studying young infants, allowing the inspection of cerebral …
