Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “As a result, it is likely that this prosodic sensitivity is pan-sensory and, thus, that as infants learn the various attributes related to speech and language—including such higher-level segmental features as stress patterns (Jusczyk et al., 1993), languagespecific combinations (Jusczyk, Luce, & Cha”
Learning to Learn: Infants’ Acquisition of Stress-Based Strategies for Word Segmentation (2007, background): “Because English-hearing infants prefer to listen longer to trochees than iambs (Jusczyk et al., 1993), all test items were presented with neutral stress during test trials.”
Sensitivity to speech rhythm explains individual differences in reading ability independently of phonological awareness (2008, background): “Sensitivity to the rhythmical properties of native language develops during the first year of life (Morais, 2003) and Jusczyk, Cutler, and Redanz (1993) found that by nine-months-old children show sensitivity to boundaries of major phrases.”
Preference and processing: The role of speech affect in early spoken word recognition (2004, background): “English-learning infants at nine months prefer to listen to lists of strong–weak words rather than weak–strong words ( Jusczyk, Cutler, & Redanz, 1993 ).”
Do bilingual two-year-olds have separate phonological systems? (2001, background): “For example, Jusczyk, Cutler, and Redanz (1993) found that English-learning nine-month-old infants preferred to listen to SW words over WS words.”
Language Discrimination by English-Learning 5-Month-Olds: Effects of Rhythm and Familiarity (2000, background): “In latter case, early perceptual categories see pave the way for learning about the phon and phonotactic organization of their langu (Jusczyk et al., 1993b; Jusczyk, 1998a; We & Tees, 1984).”
Chinese and English Infants' Tone Perception: Evidence for Perceptual Reorganization (2006, background): “It has been suggested that perceptual reorganization on the basis of ambient language characteristics occurs not only for segments (consonants and vowels) but also for the suprasegmental features of the language, namely prosody (Hirsh-Pasek et al., 1987) and the stress patterns of words ( Jusczyk, C”
Word Segmentation by 8-Month-Olds: When Speech Cues Count More Than Statistics (2001, background): “Some have suggested that the bias may be innate (Allen & Hawkins, 1980), whereas others have claimed that it develops from the linguistic input that infants receive (Jusczyk et al., 1993; Morgan, 1994).”
