Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “Third, auditory and visual narrowing can be prevented and/or reversed through “training” with non-native inputs during the sensitive period (Anzures et al., 2012; Hannon & Trehub, 2005b; Kuhl et al., 2003; Pascalis et al., 2005; Scott & Monesson, 2009).”
Perceptual learning: 12-month-olds' discrimination of monkey faces. (2012, background): “…have shown that continued experience or exposure can modify when perceptual narrowing (or perceptual attenuation) occurs (Pascalis et al., 2005; Scott & Monesson, 2009), and the current results that perceptual discrimination is possible after narrowing has occurred, demonstrate substantial…”
The Development of the Uncanny Valley in Infants (2011, background): “Similarly, the narrowing of responsiveness to the faces of other species can be prevented in infancy if infants are given extra exposure to non-native faces during the period when the narrowing process is known to begin (Pascalis et al., 2005; Scott & Monesson, 2009).”
The Biological Implausibility of the Nature-Nurture Dichotomy & What It Means for the Study of Infancy (2011, unknown): “This is the case for non-native phonetic contrasts (Kuhl, Tsao, & Liu, 2003; Yeung & Werker, 2009), musical meter (Hannon & Trehub, 2005b), faces (Pascalis, et al., 2005; Scott & Monesson, 2009), and other-race faces (Sangrigoli, Pallier, Argenti, Ventureyra, & de Schonen, 2005).”
Experience-dependent neural specialization during infancy. (2010, unknown): “In face perception, the ability to recognize differences among faces of another race or species appear to decline from 6 to 9 months of age (Kelly et al., 2007; Pascalis, de Haan, & Nelson, 2002; Pascalis et al., 2005; Scott & Monesson, 2009).”
