Action is an important way for children to learn about the world. Recent theories suggest that
action is inherently accompanied by the sensory prediction of its effects. Such predictions …

Have you ever shouted your child's name from the kitchen while they were watching
television in the living room to no avail, so you shout their name again, only louder? Yet, still …

The human auditory system excels at detecting patterns needed for processing speech and
music. According to predictive coding, the brain predicts incoming sounds, compares …

An approach to understanding biological processes underlying speech perception, is to
discover how speech sounds are represented in the central auditory system and to relate …

Children have considerable difficulties in identifying speech in noise. In the present study,
we examined age-related differences in central auditory functions that are crucial for parsing …

Our ability to focus on a task and ignore task‐irrelevant stimuli is critical for efficient cognitive
functioning. Attention control is especially required in the auditory modality as sound has …

Recent evidence suggests that human adults perceive human action sounds as a distinct
category from human vocalizations, environmental, and mechanical sounds, activating …

Hearing in noisy environments is a complicated task that engages attention, memory,
linguistic knowledge, and precise auditory-neurophysiological processing of sound …

The physiological mechanisms that contribute to abnormal encoding of speech in children
with learning problems are yet to be well understood. Furthermore, speech perception …

Auditory training programs are being developed to remediate various types of
communication disorders. Biological changes have been shown to coincide with improved …
