Jasinska K, Berens M, Kovelman I, Petitto L
Neuropsychologia . 2016 Nov; 98:34-45. PMID: 27894901
How does bilingual exposure impact children's neural circuitry for learning to read? Theories of bilingualism suggests that exposure to two languages may yield a functional and neuroanatomical adaptation to support...

Petitto L, Langdon C, Stone A, Andriola D, Kartheiser G, Cochran C
Wiley Interdiscip Rev Cogn Sci . 2016 Jul; 7(6):366-381. PMID: 27425650
Among the most prevailing assumptions in science and society about the human reading process is that sound and sound-based phonology are critical to young readers. The child's sound-to-letter decoding is...

Jasinska K, Petitto L
Dev Neuropsychol . 2014 Aug; 39(6):421-39. PMID: 25144256
What neural changes underlie reading development in monolingual and bilingual children? We examined neural activation patterns of younger (ages 6-8) and older (ages 8-10) children and adults to see whether...

Jasinska K, Petitto L
Dev Cogn Neurosci . 2013 Aug; 6:87-101. PMID: 23974273
Is the developing bilingual brain fundamentally similar to the monolingual brain (e.g., neural resources supporting language and cognition)? Or, does early-life bilingual language experience change the brain? If so, how...

Petitto L, Berens M, Kovelman I, Dubins M, Jasinska K, Shalinsky M
Brain Lang . 2011 Jul; 121(2):130-43. PMID: 21724244
In a neuroimaging study focusing on young bilinguals, we explored the brains of bilingual and monolingual babies across two age groups (younger 4-6 months, older 10-12 months), using fNIRS in...

Petitto L, Katerelos M, Levy B, Gauna K, Tetreault K, Ferraro V
J Child Lang . 2001 Jul; 28(2):453-96. PMID: 11449947
Divergent hypotheses exist concerning the types of knowledge underlying early bilingualism, with some portraying a troubled course marred by language delays and confusion, and others portraying one that is largely...

Petitto L, Zatorre R, Gauna K, Nikelski E, Dostie D, Evans A
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2000 Dec; 97(25):13961-6. PMID: 11106400
For more than a century we have understood that our brain's left hemisphere is the primary site for processing language, yet why this is so has remained more elusive. Using...

Petitto L, Marentette P
Science . 1991 Mar; 251(5000):1493-6. PMID: 2006424
Infant vocal babbling has been assumed to be a speech-based phenomenon that reflects the maturation of the articulatory apparatus responsible for spoken language production. Manual babbling has now been reported...
