Neural correlates of consonance, dissonance, and the hierarchy of musical pitch in the human brainstem.

19 Oct 2009 Consonant and dissonant pitch relationships in music provide the foundation of melody and harmony, the building blocks of Western tonal music. We hypothesized that phase-locked neural activity within the brainstem may preserve information relevant ... Read more...

Nonlocal effects of prosodic boundaries.

29 Sep 2009 Placing a prosodic boundary before a phrase may influence its syntactic analysis. However, the boundary's effect depends on the presence, size, and position of other, earlier, prosodic boundaries. In three experiments, we extend previous results ... Read more...

Pauses and intonational phrasing: ERP studies in 5-month-old German infants and adults.

29 Sep 2009 In language learning, infants are faced with the challenge of decomposing continuous speech into relevant units, such as syntactic clauses and words. Within the framework of prosodic bootstrapping, behavioral studies suggest infants approach this ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Psycholinguistics'

Definition: A discipline concerned with relations between messages and the characteristics of individuals who select and interpret them; it deals directly with the processes of encoding (phonetics) and decoding (psychoacoustics) as they relate states of messages to states of communicators.
