Newborns’ Brains Detect Foreign Rhythm in Native‐Language Speech

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Humans begin tuning in to the prosody of their native language even before birth. Previous studies with newborns have reported language‐specific processing of forward versus backward speech and of intonational contours, as well as sensitivity to iambic versus trochaic patterns in non‐linguistic tone stimuli.

Cortical Tracking of Speech Across Rhythm Classes in English‐, French‐, and Japanese‐Learning 4‐ and 8‐Month‐Old Infants

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT It has been proposed that the world's languages fall into three rhythmic classes according to the units that determine their rhythmic structure: stress‐based (e.g., English), syllable‐based (e.g., French), and mora‐based (e.g., Japanese). These rhythmic differences modulate language‐specific processing in adults and young infants.

Distinct Neural Signatures of Novel Word–Referent Mapping in Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that bilingualism impacts children's lexical and brain development. Yet, the development of the brain's language network in early childhood–a period marked by rapid vocabulary growth–remains poorly understood, particularly with respect to differences between bilingual and monolingual children. This study used eye tracking and

First Sounds, Second Language: How Word Onsets Spark Language Co‐Activation in 3‐Year‐Old Bilinguals

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Adult and young bilinguals co‐activate their languages to different degrees, even in entirely monolingual tasks. However, many studies use translation pairs with high phonological overlap (e.g., the English‐GERMAN: “milk”‐“MILCH”), making it difficult to discern the origin of the co‐activation.

Cumulative Exposure to Harsh Discipline at Home and School on Child Development: Evidence From Ghana

ABSTRACT Violence against children violates human rights and fundamentally challenges the global objectives outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Children may frequently experience harsh discipline in both homes and schools, two main settings for early learning and development, yet longitudinal evidence on the developmental ...
