Multisensory Processes: A Balancing Act across the Lifespan (2016, background): “For instance, starting at birth and continuing into the first several months of postnatal life, infants exhibit the ability to detect the synchrony of auditory and visual non-speech and speech information [32–34] as well as the equivalence of isolated visible and audible speech syllables and non-nat”
Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “For example, as early as 2 months of age, infants can match facially and vocally produced native speech syllables even when the audible syllable is synchronized with both visual syllables (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson & Werker, 1999, 2002, 2003; Walton & Bower, 1993).”
Two-month-old infants match phonetic information in lips and voice (2003, methodology): “Infants aged 4.5 months are able to match phonetic information in the face and voice (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson & Werker, 1999); however, the ontogeny of this remarkable ability is not understood.”
Bilingualism Modulates Infants' Selective Attention to the Mouth of a Talking Face (2015, unknown): “…show that this general ability emerges in infancy (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Lewkowicz, 2010; Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2006; Lewkowicz & Pons, 2013; Patterson & Werker, 1999; Pons, Lewkowicz, Soto-Faraco, & Sebastián-Gallés, 2009; Rosenblum, Schmuckler, & Johnson, 1997; Teinonen, Aslin, Alku, &…”
The development of infant learning about specific face-voice relations. (2005, background): “By the age of 2 months, infants detect voice–lip synchrony (Dodd, 1979), and by 4 months, infants match audible and visible speech on the basis of spectral information in vowel sounds (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1984; Patterson & Werker, 1999).”
Perceptual beginnings to language acquisition (2018, background): “We have also known for some time that from as early as 4 months old (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson & Werker, 1999) and even 2 months old (Patterson & Werker, 2003), infants can match heard with seen phonetic information.”
Intersensory Perception at Birth: Newborns Match Nonhuman Primate Faces and Voices. (2010, background): “(Aldridge, Braga, Walton, & Bower, 1999; Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson & Werker, 1999,”
Matching vocalizations to vocalizing faces in a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) (2004, background): “In the preferential looking paradigm study, 4.5-month-old infants gazed longer at a vocalizing face that matched the vowel sound heard than at a face vocalizing a different vowel (Kuhl and Meltzoff 1982, 1984; Patterson and Werker 1999 ).”
Infant perception of audio-visual speech synchrony. (2010, background): “Several prior studies have shown that infants are able to match the auditory and visual attributes of speech even when A-V temporal synchrony cues are not available (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982, 1984; Patterson & Werker, 1999, 2002, 2003).”
Vocal-Tract Resonances as Indexical Cues in Rhesus Monkeys (2007, unknown): “This w3 s difference, although seemingly small, is robust in the context of the preferential-looking method and is similar to differences reported for similar experiments in both humans [31, 32]”
Recognition of Amodal Language Identity Emerges in Infancy (2013, background): “Two months later, infants begin to detect amodal phonetic information inherent in single syllables (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson & Werker, 1999, 2003) and by 3 months infants can associate specific people’s faces and voices (Brookes et al., 2001).”
The decline of cross-species intersensory perception in human infants: underlying mechanisms and its developmental persistence. (2008, background): “These studies have all shown that the ability to integrate the audible and visible attributes of human talking faces does not decline (Kahana-Kalman and Walker-Andrews, 2001; Kuhl and Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson and Werker, 1999, 2002, 2003; Poulin-Dubois et al., 1998, 1994; Walker-Andrews, 1986; Wa”
Infants' ability to match dynamic phonetic and gender information in the face and voice. (2002, methodology): “Infants of age 4.5 months do match phonetic information when the face and voice are of the same gender ( Patterson & Werker, 1999 ).”
Perception of Multisensory Gender Coherence in 6- and 9-month-old Infants (2015, unknown): “…show that infants can perceive the multisensory coherence of the audible and visible attributes of speech syllables (e.g., Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson & Werker, 1999) by 4 months of age, and the equivalence of audible and visible fluent speech by the end of the first year of life…”
