Modern AI systems can now synthesize coherent multimedia experiences, generating video and audio directly from text prompts. These unified frameworks represent a rapid shift toward controllable and synchronized content creation. From early neural architectures to transformer and diffusion paradigms, this paper contextualizes the ongoing evolution of ...

Language discrimination by newborns: Teasing apart phonotactic, rhythmic, and intonational cues [PDF]
Speech rhythm has long been claimed to be a useful bootstrapping cue in the very first steps of language acquisition. Previous studies have suggested that newborn infants do categorize varieties of speech rhythm, as demonstrated by their ability to ...

The relative perceptual weight of two Swedish prosodic contrasts
Abstract. In addition to 9 vowel and 18 consonant phonemes, Swedish has three prosodic phonemic contrasts: word stress, quantity and tonal word accent. There are also examples of distinctive phrase or sentence stress, where a verb can be followed by either an unstressed preposition or a stressed particle.

Repeated reading and Chinese oral‐reading fluency: Is prosodic sensitivity an indispensable link?
Abstract Background This quasi‐experimental study tested whether prosodic sensitivity serves as a mediator through which an 8‐week repeated reading intervention improves Chinese oral reading fluency. Methods Seventy‐nine typically developing Chinese Grades 4–6 students, including 39 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group, were recruited ...

Event‐Related Brain Potentials and Frequency‐Following Response to Syllables in Newborns and Adults
We collected ERP and FFR neural responses to syllables in 17 healthy full‐term newborns and 21 adults. Participants were passively exposed to alternating blocks of syllables presented at either fast or slow stimulation rates while we recorded electroencephalography. At the FFR level, newborns exhibit an already functional encoding of vowel pitch but an

Lexical stress constrains English-learning infants' segmentation in a non-native language. [PDF]
Infants' ability to segment words in fluent speech is affected by their language experience. In this study we investigated the conditions under which infants can segment words in a non-native language.

Correlates of linguistic rhythm in the speech signal [PDF]
Spoken languages have been classified by linguists according to their rhythmic properties, and psycholinguists have relied on this classification to account for infants capacity to discriminate languages.

A formal model of emotional-response, inspired from human cognition and emotion systems [PDF]
In this paper, we used the formalisms of decision-making theory and theories in psychology, physiology and cognition to proposing a macro model of human emotional-response.
