Michel, Christine; Kaduk, Katharina; Ní Choisdealbha, Áine; Reid, Vincent M. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Previous event-related potential (ERP) work has indicated that the neural processing of action sequences develops with age. Although adults and 9-month-olds use a semantic processing system, perceiving actions activates attentional processes in 7-month-olds. However, presenting a sequence of action context, action execution and action conclusion…

DePaolis, Rory A.; Vihman, Marilyn M.; Keren-Portnoy, Tamar – Journal of Child Language, 2014
Previous studies have shown that by 11 but not by 10 months infants recognize words that have become familiar from everyday life independently of the experimental setting. This study explored the ability of 10-, 11-, and 12- month-old infants to recognize familiar words in sentential context, without experimental training. The headturn preference…
