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 …

Infants' ability to discriminate between auditory stimuli presented in rapid succession and
differing in fundamental frequency (Rapid Auditory Processing [RAP] abilities) has been …

Rapid auditory processing and acoustic change detection abilities play a critical role in
allowing human infants to efficiently process the fine spectral and temporal changes that are …

Young infants discriminate phonetically relevant speech contrasts in a universal manner,
that is, similarly across languages. This ability fades by 12 months of age as the brain builds …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the maturation of long-latency auditory evoked potentials
(LLAEP) from 6 to 48months in infants with a family history of language impairment (FH+) …

Atypical phase alignment of low-frequency neural oscillations to speech rhythm has been
implicated in phonological deficits in developmental dyslexia. Atypical phase alignment to …

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 …

Associations between efficient processing of brief, rapidly presented, successive stimuli and
language learning impairments (LLI) in older children and adults have been well …

Children with language-learning impairment (LLI) have consistently shown difficulty with
tasks requiring precise, rapid auditory processing. Remediation based on neural plasticity …

Abstract Language acquisition in infants is driven by on-going neural plasticity that is acutely
sensitive to environmental acoustic cues. Recent studies showed that attention-based …
