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).”
Infants’ responsiveness to the auditory and visual attributes of a sounding/moving stimulus (1992, background): “For example, it has been reported that infants can detect auditory-visual equivalence based on intensity (Lewkowicz, 1980), rate (Spelke, 1979), rhythm (Allen, Walker, Symonds & Marcell, 1977; Mendelson & Ferland, 1982), linguistic content ( Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982 ), and synchrony (Bahrick, 1987; Lew”
Is speech learning 'gated' by the social brain? (2007, background): “…are contingent on their own: Reciprocity in adult–infant language is common as infants alternate their vocalizations with those of an adult (Bloom, Russell & Wassenberg, 1987), and the pervasive use of motherese by adults tends to encourage infant reciprocity (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982, 1996).”
Binding and unbinding the auditory and visual streams in the McGurk effect. (2012, background): “It is well known that 4-month old infants are already able to correctly match a sound with a face (Kuhl and Meltzoff, 1982, 1984).”
Two-month-old infants match phonetic information in lips and voice (2003, background): “Indeed, there is strong evidence that infants as young as 4.5 months of age detect equivalent phonetic information in the lips and voice (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982, 1984; Patterson & Werker, 1999).”
Brain Mechanisms in Early Language Acquisition (2010, background): “Mean percent correct scores are shown with standard errors indicated (adapted from Kuhl et al., 2006). discerned in the babbling of infants raised in different countries (de Boysson-Bardies, 1993), and in the laboratory, vocal imitation can be elicited by 20 weeks (Kuhl and Meltzoff, 1982).”
Auditory and motor rhythm awareness in adults with dyslexia (2006, background): “Kuhl and Meltzoff (1982) have also shown how infants use articulatory knowledge when interpreting the auditory– visual information presented in face-to-face interactions.”
