Early childhood is a period of tremendous growth in both language ability and brain
maturation. To understand the dynamic interplay between neural activity and spoken …

Spontaneous neural oscillatory activity reflects the brain's functional architecture and has
previously been shown to correlate with perceptual, motor and executive skills. The current …

EEG is a primary method for studying temporally precise neuronal processes across the
lifespan. Most of this work focuses on event related potentials (ERPs); however, using time …

A long‐standing question in developmental science is how the neurodevelopment of the
brain influences cognitive functions. Here, we examined the developmental change of …

Cognitive function varies substantially and serves as a key predictor of outcome and
response to intervention in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet we know little about the …

The ability to rapidly discriminate successive auditory stimuli within tens-of-milliseconds is
crucial for speech and language development, particularly in the first year of life. This skill …

Cortical signals have been shown to track acoustic and linguistic properties of continuous
speech. This phenomenon has been measured in both children and adults, reflecting …

Background The predictable path to child language acquisition is largely constrained by
both brain maturation and environmental experience. The synchronized activity of large …

The development of speech perception shows a dramatic transition between infancy and
adulthood. Between 6 and 12 months, infants' initial ability to discriminate all phonetic units …

Although very young children seem to process ongoing language quickly and effortlessly,
neuroimaging and behavioral studies reveal that children continue to mature in their …
