Multisensory Processes: A Balancing Act across the Lifespan (2016, background): “This process is known as multisensory perceptual narrowing [20,22] and reflects the cumulative effects of early and selective experience.”
Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, methodology): “This is because there are good reasons to suspect that MPN may simply take longer to manifest itself in non-human primates (Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009).”
Infants deploy selective attention to the mouth of a talking face when learning speech (2012, background): “This is because the ability to perceive the attributes of nonnative speech declines as infants become experts in their native language and as their sensitivity to nonnative speech narrows (2, 23).”
Recognition of Amodal Language Identity Emerges in Infancy (2013, background): “…nativelanguage segmental, suprasegmental, and lexical features (Johnson & Jusczyk, 2001; Jusczyk et al., 1993, 1994; Saffran et al., 1996; Swingley, 2005; Vihman et al., 2004) and gradually leads to an improvement in multisensory perceptual skills (Lewkowicz, 2002; Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009).”
The Biological Implausibility of the Nature-Nurture Dichotomy & What It Means for the Study of Infancy (2011, background): “…social experience given findings from humans and non-humans showing that social experience plays a critical role in development in a myriad of ways (Gottlieb, 1991a, 1991b, 1997; Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; Maurer, Mondloch, & Lewis, 2007; Michel & Tyler, 2005; Nelson, 2001; Werker & Tees, 2005).”
Perceptual learning: 12-month-olds' discrimination of monkey faces. (2012, background): “Finally, nearly all of the research within the domain of perceptual development has focused on whether and when infants’ perceptual discrimination of various properties or features emerges—or more recently, declines (see Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; for a review).”
The Development of the Uncanny Valley in Infants (2011, background): “As noted earlier, one is perceptual learning and differentiation of increasingly finer stimulus features (Gibson, 1969; Gottlieb, 1991; Nelson, 2001; Thelen & Smith, 1994; Werner, 1973) and the other is perceptual narrowing (Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; Scott et al., 2007; Werker & Tees, 2005).”
Multisensory integration: flexible use of general operations (2014, unknown): “Experience-related effects on multisensory and sensorimotor interactions can be shaped gradually during development (Hillock-Dunn andWallace, 2012; Lewkowicz, 2012; Lewkowicz and Ghazanfar, 2009) but can also occur very rapidly, as shown by recalibration experiments in temporal, spatial, and content”
Brief daily exposures to Asian females reverses perceptual narrowing for Asian faces in Caucasian infants (2012, unknown): “In fact, perceptual narrowing in general appears to be more robust during the latter half of the first year (reviewed in Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; Scott, Pascalis, & Nelson, 2007; Slater et al., 2010).”
