Infant Behav Dev
. 2024 May;
76:101959.
PMID: 38781790
Werker and Tees (1984) prompted decades of research attempting to detail the paths infants take towards specialisation for the sounds of their native language(s). Most of this research has examined...

. 2023 Aug;
26(4):835-844.
PMID: 37636491
Bilingual infants rely differently than monolinguals on facial information, such as lip patterns, to differentiate their native languages. This may explain, at least in part, why young monolinguals and bilinguals...

. 2022 Jul;

PMID: 35777191
Background: Most people have strong left-brain lateralisation for language, with a minority showing right- or bilateral language representation. On some receptive language tasks, however, lateralisation appears to be reduced or...

PMID: 34405116
: Lateralised language processing is a well-established finding in monolinguals. In bilinguals, studies using fMRI have typically found substantial regional overlap between the two languages, though results may be influenced...

. 2021 Jun;
24(6):e13124.
PMID: 34060185
Visual information conveyed by a speaking face aids speech perception. In addition, children's ability to comprehend visual-only speech (speechreading ability) is related to phonological awareness and reading skills in both...

J Speech Lang Hear Res
. 2020 Oct;
63(11):3775-3785.
PMID: 33108258
Purpose Speechreading (lipreading) is a correlate of reading ability in both deaf and hearing children. We investigated whether the relationship between speechreading and single-word reading is mediated by phonological awareness...

. 2020 Oct;
23(11):101650.
PMID: 33103087
When people talk, they move their hands to enhance meaning. Using accelerometry, we measured whether people spontaneously use their artificial limbs (prostheses) to gesture, and whether this behavior relates to...

Neurobiol Lang (Camb)
. 2020 Apr;
1(1):9-32.
PMID: 32274469
Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that monolingual infants activate a left-lateralized frontotemporal brain network in response to spoken language, which is similar to the network involved in processing spoken and signed...

. 2019 Dec;

PMID: 31857205
Deaf late signers provide a unique perspective on the impact of impoverished early language exposure on the neurobiology of language: insights that cannot be gained from research with hearing people...

Curr Biol
. 2019 Nov;
29(21):3739-3747.e5.
PMID: 31668623
Conceptual knowledge is fundamental to human cognition. Yet, the extent to which it is influenced by language is unclear. Studies of semantic processing show that similar neural patterns are evoked...
