Newborns' Language Discrimination May Not Reflect Sensitivity to Speech Rhythm: Evidence From Computational Modeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Keeping an Eye on Looking Measures: Towards More Robust Developmental Methods

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A persistent challenge in experimental developmental psychology is determining which of many possible outcome measures best captures underlying behaviors and processes. In the looking‐while‐listening paradigm for studying early word comprehension, researchers have developed more than 12 distinct outcome measures, but have limited empirical ...

Enhanced Time‐Locked Decoding for Spoken Words but Not Environmental Sounds in Natural‐Like Auditory Conditions

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 1, July 2026.
We examined cortical tracking of speech under naturalistic auditory conditions by recording MEG responses while participants listened to superimposed spoken words and environmental sounds. Decoding sound envelopes and spectrograms from the MEG responses revealed a more accurate cortical tracking of speech compared to other natural sounds in the left ...
