Lynn K. Perry; Daniel S. Messinger; Ivette Cejas – Developmental Science, 2025
Although vocabulary size is thought to index children's language abilities, an increasing body of work suggests that regularities in children's vocabulary composition, particularly the proportion of shape-based nouns (e.g., cup), support language development. Here we examine initial vocabulary composition in children with hearing loss following…

Chieh Kao; Yang Zhang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate infants' neural responses to changes in emotional prosody in spoken words. The focus was on understanding developmental changes and potential sex differences, aspects that were not consistently observed in previous behavioral studies. Method: A modified multifeature oddball paradigm was used with emotional…

Meiyun Wu; Haotian Liu; Xue Zhao; Li Lu; Yuyang Wang; Chaogang Wei; Yuhe Liu; Yu-Xuan Zhang – Developmental Science, 2025
To reveal the formation process of speech processing with early hearing experiences, we tracked the development of functional connectivity in the auditory and language-related cortical areas of 84 (36 female) congenitally deafened toddlers using repeated functional near-infrared spectroscopy for up to 36 months post cochlear implantation (CI).…

Bryan E. Nichols; Logan Barrett – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2025
Previous research has variably indicated the role of working memory in error detection by which working memory played a role in rhythmic error detection but not melodic error detection. Here, we devised a longer melodic error detection task for college musicians in an auditory, rather than visual, condition using classical excerpts, which we…

Min Zhu; Fei Chen; Weiping Chen; Yang Zhang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts the timing and rhythmic flow of speech production. There is growing evidence indicating that abnormal interactions between the auditory and motor cortices contribute to the development of stuttering. The present study investigated speech auditory-motor synchronization in stuttering…

Erik Marsja; Emil Holmer; Victoria Stenbäck; Andreea Micula; Carlos Tirado; Henrik Danielsson; Jerker Rönnberg – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Although the existing literature has explored the link between cognitive functioning and speech recognition in noise, the specific role of fluid intelligence still needs to be studied. Given the established association between working memory capacity (WMC) and fluid intelligence and the predictive power of WMC for speech recognition in…
