Do the eyes have it? A systematic review on the role of eye gaze in infant language development
Eye gaze is a ubiquitous cue in child–caregiver interactions, and infants are highly attentive
to eye gaze from very early on. However, the question of why infants show gaze-sensitive …

Emotion words, emotion concepts, and emotional development in children: A constructionist hypothesis.
In this article, we integrate two constructionist approaches—the theory of constructed
emotion and rational constructivism—to introduce several novel hypotheses for …

How relevant is social interaction in second language learning?
Verbal language is the most widespread mode of human communication, and an
intrinsically social activity. This claim is strengthened by evidence emerging from different …

[HTML][HTML] Ten-month-old infants' neural tracking of naturalistic speech is not facilitated by the speaker's eye gaze
Eye gaze is a powerful ostensive cue in infant-caregiver interactions, with demonstrable
effects on language acquisition. While the link between gaze following and later vocabulary …

Joint attention, social-cognition, and recognition memory in adults
K Kim, P Mundy - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2012 - frontiersin.org
The early emerging capacity for Joint Attention (JA), or socially coordinated visual attention,
is thought to be integral to the development of social-cognition in childhood. Recent studies …

Development of the N400 for word learning in the first 2 years of life: a systematic review
The N400 ERP component is a direct neural index of word meaning. Studies show that the
N400 component is already present in early infancy, albeit often delayed. Many researchers …

Infant‐directed speech facilitates word learning through attentional mechanisms: An fNIRS study of toddlers
The speech register that adults especially caregivers use when interacting with infants and
toddlers, that is, infant‐directed speech (IDS) or baby talk, has been reported to facilitate …

Social interaction targets enhance 13‐month‐old infants' associative learning
Infants are attentive to third‐party interactions, but the underlying mechanisms of this
preference remain understudied. This study examined whether 13‐month‐old infants (N …

Observing others' joint attention increases 9-month-old infants' object encoding.
In direct interactions with others, 9-month-old infants' learning about objects is facilitated
when the interaction partner addresses the infant through eye contact before looking toward …
