Hemodynamic Responses to Word Forms in Japanese Infant‐Directed Vocabulary in 5‐ and 9‐Month‐Old Infants: Early Sensitivity to Prosodic Structure and Emergence of Prosodic Representations

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The prosodic characteristics of a native language greatly influence early language acquisition. Yet, Japanese mothers are known to use a specific prosodic structure in infant‐directed vocabulary (IDV)—specifically, three‐mora, two‐syllable words with a heavy‐light pattern—which, crucially, differs from the standard prosodic rhythm of adult ...

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 ...

Family‐Involved Hybrid Voice Therapy for Pediatric Vocal Fold Nodules in School‐Aged Children: Clinical Outcomes and Socioeconomic Associations

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective(s) To evaluate the effectiveness of a family‐involved hybrid voice therapy program in children with vocal fold nodules using multidimensional voice outcomes (objective acoustic, auditory‐perceptual, and parent‐reported measures) and to examine whether family socioeconomic opportunity is associated with baseline burden or ...
