Rhythm in language acquisition
Spoken language is governed by rhythm. Linguistic rhythm is hierarchical and the rhythmic
hierarchy partially mimics the prosodic as well as the morpho-syntactic hierarchy of spoken …

Conventional rhythms enhance infants' and adults' perception of musical patterns
Listeners may favour particular rhythms because of their degree of conformity to culture-
specific expectations or because of perceptual constraints that are apparent early in …

Rhythmic engagement with music in infancy
Humans have a unique ability to coordinate their motor movements to an external auditory
stimulus, as in music-induced foot tapping or dancing. This behavior currently engages the …
