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).”
The McGurk effect in infants. (1995, background): “These findings show that sensitivity occurs: a) in 1-month old babies (Walton and Bower, 1993); b) for segments which are unfamiliar to infants (Walton and Bower, 1993); and c) with a left-hemisphere advantage implicating a specialized mechanism (MacKain, et al., 1983).”
Matching phonetic information in lips and voice is robust in 4.5-month-old infants (1999, background): “Walton and Bower (1993) replicated the bimodal matching effect with /i/ and /u/ using an operant-choice sucking procedure.”
Two-month-old infants match phonetic information in lips and voice (2003, background): “To date, this ability has only been reported in infants aged 4 months and older (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982, 1984; MacKain et al. , 1983; Walton & Bower, 1993; Patterson & Werker, 1999).”
Infants' ability to match dynamic phonetic and gender information in the face and voice. (2002, result): “Previous studies in our lab (Patterson & Werker, 1999) with both female and male faces replicate and extend past findings that 4.5-month-old infants can match phonetic information in the face and voice (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982, 1984; MacKain, Studdert-Kennedy, Spieker, & Stern, 1983; Walton & Bower, ”
