• Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “First, absence of relevant experience does not necessarily lead to a decline in discriminative ability (Sundara et al., 2006).”
• The development of phonetic representation in bilingual and monolingual infants (2007, background): “Delays in facilitation of a native-language speech sound contrast have also been demonstrated in 4-year-old bilingual children as compared to monolinguals (Sundara et al., 2006).”
• Phonetic learning as a pathway to language: new data and native language magnet theory expanded (NLM-e) (2008, background): “Previous studies had shown native language improvement after 12 months of age and before adulthood (Polka et al. 2001; Sundara et al. 2006), but the new studies establish a pattern of improvement in native language phonetic perception in the first year, which we consider significant for theory.”
