Temporal order processing of syllables in the left parietal lobe.

5 Oct 2009 Speech processing requires the temporal parsing of syllable order. Individuals suffering from posterior left hemisphere brain injury often exhibit temporal processing deficits as well as language deficits. Although the right posterior inferior ... 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...

Investigating the time course of spoken word recognition: electrophysiological evidence for the influences of phonological similarity.

29 Sep 2009 Behavioral and modeling evidence suggests that words compete for recognition during auditory word identification, and that phonological similarity is a driving factor in this competition. The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to ... Read more...
