Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Whether an optimal school‐entry age exists is widely debated. A sequential cohort longitudinal design was used to investigate how school‐entry deferral affected executive function development, and parent‐reported socio‐emotional and self‐regulatory outcomes in 110 children (majority White) over one academic year.

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.

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 5, September 2026.The frequency‐following response to speech has subcortical as well as cortical origins. Audiovisual integration can affect the subcortical contribution, but it remained unclear whether it also affects the cortical contribution. Here, we use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to show that the cortical contribution to the speech‐FFR is not modulated by visual ...

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 6, September 2026.Sustained attention was the primary domain that differentiated groups, with the traditionally formatted task being the most sensitive to attentional differences. Virtual reality paradigms may provide ecologically valid tools for form‐specific attentional assessment.
