Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “Subsequent studies found that such cross-linguistic narrowing occurs in response to other consonant and vowel pairs (Best, McRoberts, LaFleur, & Silver-Isenstadt, 1995; Cheour et al., 1998; Kuhl, Williams, Lacerda, Stevens, & Lindblom, 1992).”
The developing brain and neural plasticity: Implications for normality, psychopathology, and resilience. (2015, background): “Much of the underlying empirical work in support of this perspective on neural development has been in the area of sensory, language, and perceptual organization and function (e.g., Cheour et al., 1998; Elbert, Pantev, Wienbruch, Rockstroh, & Taub, 1995; Hubel & Wiesel, 1979).”
Brain imaging of language plasticity in adopted adults: can a second language replace the first? (2001, unknown): “, 1992) and their brain activations (Dehaene-Lambertz and Dehaene, 1994; Dehaene-Lambertz, 1997; Näätänen et al., 1997; Cheour et al., 1998).”
Language as a Tool for Interacting Minds (2010, background): “Neurophysiological studies with electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) have revealed language-specific neural markers of phonetic categories in the left hemisphere of the brain, in both adults and in developing infants (Näätänen et al., 1997; Cheour et al., 1998).”
Speech perception as a window for understanding plasticity and commitment in language systems of the brain. (2005, unknown): “, 1994; Werker & Lalonde, 1988) and ERP studies (Cheour et al., 1998; Kuhl & Coffey-Corina, 2001; Rivera-Gaxiola, Silva-Pereyra, Garcia-Sierra, Klarman, & Kuhl, 2003).”
Music and Language: A Developmental Comparison (2004, background): “…at 6 months, infants’ EEG traces display a tendency to respond more strongly when an infrequent stimulus is more acoustically distinct—in this case, the Estonian vowel—whereas by 1 year, they exhibit larger MMNs to the less-distinct but phonemically different Finnish vowel (Cheour et al., 1998).”
Critical period regulation. (2004, background): “Originally sensitive to all speech sounds, the MMN is observed only for native language contrasts after 12 months of age (Cheour et al. 1998), reflecting the great difficulty to hear, as well as to produce, nonnative phonetic distinctions later in life.”
The Infant's Auditory World: Hearing, Speech, and the Beginnings of Language (2007, background): “Moreover, the basic pattern of findings from these behavioral studies has been replicated by recording event-related potentials (Cheour et al., 1998; Rivera-Gaxiola, Silva-Pereyra, & Kuhl, 2005).”
Electrophysiological correlates of second language processing (2005, unknown): “In sum, the above reviewed studies suggest that some new phoneme distinctions – as for example new vowel categories – can be acquired in L2 acquisition (Cheour et al., 1998; Winkler et al., 1999; Shestakova et al., 2003) while other distinctions – such as distinctions based solely on the duration pa”
