Abstract Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an important neuroimaging
technique in cognitive developmental neuroscience. Nevertheless, there is no general …

Understanding the neurodevelopmental trajectories of infants and children is essential for
the early identification of neurodevelopmental disorders, elucidating the neural mechanisms …

In language, grammatical dependencies often hold between items that are not immediately
adjacent to each other. Acquiring these nonadjacent dependencies is crucial for learning …

Significance: There is a longstanding recommendation within the field of fNIRS to use
oxygenated (HbO2) and deoxygenated (HHb) hemoglobin when analyzing and interpreting …

Pre-babbling infants can track nonadjacent dependencies (NADs) in the auditory domain.
While this forms a crucial prerequisite for language acquisition, the neurodevelopmental …

Auditory processing of speech and non-speech stimuli oftentimes involves the analysis and
acquisition of non-adjacent sound patterns. Previous studies using speech material have …

Neurocognitive functions supporting language development start to develop well before first
words are spoken during the first years of life. This process coincides with the initial growth …

The capacity for the implicit learning/processing of complex grammar with nonadjacent
dependencies is an important feature of human language learning. In this fMRI study, using …

The organizational structure of music is similar to that found in language, involving a large
number of complicated hierarchical and embedded structures. The factors inducing …

In order to become proficient native speakers, children have to learn the morpho-syntactic
relations between distant elements in a sentence, so-called non-adjacent dependencies …
