Implementing Temporal Sampling Theory Through Rhythmic‐Melodic Activities in Preschool: A Motor‐Rhythm Based Intervention to Enhance Language Skills

open access: yesMind, Brain, and Education, Volume 20, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The sensory‐neural temporal sampling (TS) theory of language acquisition emphasizes the role of individual differences in speech rhythm processing. According to this theory, neural oscillations track loudness or amplitude modulation (AM) patterns—rhythmic fluctuations in speech intensity or energy—across multiple timescales.

Relations Between Preferential Looking to Synchronous Audiovisual Speech and Expressive Language in Infants With Autistic and Non‐Autistic Siblings

open access: yesMind, Brain, and Education, Volume 20, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Differences in audiovisual processing may influence language development in autism. We characterized preferential looking to temporally synchronous audiovisual speech in fifty infants (28 elevated‐likelihood [54% male]; 22 population‐level‐likelihood [50% male]) aged 12–18 months.

Toward a Fuller Integration of Respiratory Rhythms Into Research on Infant Vocal and Motor Development

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1556, Issue 1, February 2026.
From birth, respiration constitutes an intrinsic rhythm. We suggest that vocalizations and bodily movements are interactively coordinated with this respiratory rhythm, providing a temporal framework for multimodal language development. ABSTRACT Rhythm organizes many human motor activities from before birth and continues to shape development throughout ...

Explaining the Musical Advantage in Speech Perception Through Beat Perception and Working Memory

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1556, Issue 1, February 2026.
Musical experience enhances speech‐in‐noise (SIN) perception, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. We tested 62 young adults using continuous measures of musical engagement, auditory and cognitive skills, and subcortical pitch encoding. Greater musical sophistication predicted better SIN performance, stronger working memory, finer beat perception, and ...

Little Scientists & Social Apprentices: Active Word Learning in Dynamic Social Contexts Using a Transparent Dyadic Interaction Platform

open access: yesSocial Development, Volume 35, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Research characterises the child as an active learner who attends more to and selectively retains information they actively elicit better than information they passively receive. At the same time, children learn best from knowledgeable others who tailor information to children's learning progress.
