Ekramnia M, Mehler J, Dehaene-Lambertz G
iScience . 2021 Oct; 24(10):103203. PMID: 34703998
Can preverbal infants utilize logical reasoning such as disjunctive inference? This logical operation requires keeping two alternatives open (A or B), until one of them is eliminated (if not A),...

Christophe A, Mehler J, Sebastian-Galles N
Infancy . 2021 Jan; 2(3):385-394. PMID: 33451208
French newborn infants were shown to perceive acoustic correlates of phonological phrase boundaries in Spanish, with stress-controlled stimuli. Access to phonological phrase boundaries may facilitate the acquisition of a lexicon,...

Ferry A, Nespor M, Mehler J
Dev Psychol . 2019 Dec; 56(1):40-52. PMID: 31789528
To learn a language infants must learn to link arbitrary sounds to their meaning. While words are the clearest example of this link, they are not the only component of...

Vidal Y, Brusini P, Bonfieni M, Mehler J, Bekinschtein T
eNeuro . 2019 Sep; 6(5). PMID: 31551251
As the evidence of predictive processes playing a role in a wide variety of cognitive domains increases, the brain as a predictive machine becomes a central idea in neuroscience. In...

Flo A, Brusini P, Macagno F, Nespor M, Mehler J, Ferry A
Dev Sci . 2019 Jan; 22(4):e12802. PMID: 30681763
Before infants can learn words, they must identify those words in continuous speech. Yet, the speech signal lacks obvious boundary markers, which poses a potential problem for language acquisition (Swingley,...

Hochmann J, Carey S, Mehler J
Cognition . 2018 Apr; 177:49-57. PMID: 29635110
In two experiments, we assessed whether infants are able to learn rules predicated on two abstract relations linked by negation: same and different (not same). In an anticipatory looking paradigm,...

Spinelli L, Zucchelli L, Contini D, Caffini M, Mehler J, Flo A, et al.
Neurophotonics . 2017 Aug; 4(4):041414. PMID: 28840165
By exploiting a multichannel portable instrument for time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-NIRS), we characterized healthy neonates' brains in term of optical properties and hemodynamic parameters. In particular, we assessed the absolute...

Benavides-Varela S, Siugzdaite R, Gomez D, Macagno F, Cattarossi L, Mehler J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2017 Jul; 114(29):7588-7593. PMID: 28674020
Perception and cognition in infants have been traditionally investigated using habituation paradigms, assuming that babies' memories in laboratory contexts are best constructed after numerous repetitions of the very same stimulus...

Gomez D, Mok P, Ordin M, Mehler J, Nespor M
Lang Speech . 2017 May; 61(1):84-96. PMID: 28486862
Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation of speech based on...
