Newborns’ Brains Detect Foreign Rhythm in Native‐Language Speech
Developmental 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.

Developmental 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
Developmental 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
Developmental 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.

Spanish‐Speaking Secondary Students Reading and Spelling in English as a Foreign Language
European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Proficiency in English reading and spelling is essential, as many professional environments require both spoken and written skills. Literacy development in English as a foreign language poses challenges for learners whose first language is transparent, such as Spanish, due to the complexity and inconsistency of English orthography.

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 5, September 2026.Over the past two decades, ecologically valid music paradigms have shown that mismatch negativity (MMN) reflects a primitive musical intelligence, indexing hierarchical auditory predictions in music that parallel those observed in speech. MMN captures processing from early sensory detection in superior temporal cortices to higher order frontal ...
