Distal prosodic context affects word segmentation and lexical processing (2008, background): “The significance of proximal prosodic characteristics in infant word segmentation is well-attested (see Saffran, Werker, & Werner, 2006, for a review).”
Infants' Perception of Intonation: Is It a Statement or a Question? (2014, background): “Introduction Developmental change in acquisition of sound categories: non-native discrimination declines, native contrast discrimination maintained, improved or learned (Werker & Tees, 1984; Saffran et al., 2006).”
Early phonetic learning without phonetic categories: Insights from large-scale simulations on realistic input (2021, background): “This type of input representation only assumes basic auditory abilities from infants, which are known to be fully operational shortly after birth (74), and has been proposed previously as a potential way to get around both the lack-of-invariance and the phonetic category segmentation problems in the”
Brain Mechanisms in Early Language Acquisition (2010, background): “…deal of data about infants, their innate predispositions, and their incredible abilities to learn once exposed to natural language (Kuhl, 2009; Saffran et al., 2006), we are still just breaking ground with regard to the neural mechanisms that underlie language development (see Friederici and…”
ABX-Discriminability Measures and Applications. (Mesures de discriminabilité ABX et applications) (2016, background): “The main reason the first heuristic is particularly useful is that the auditory system is known to be mature at the time of birth in many respects [154].”
Statistical learning and language acquisition (2010, unknown): “This interpretation has been challenged from two directions: (1) that statistical learning mechanisms are actually sufficient to explain the transfer2,24–29 and (2) that repetition-detection is an automatic process of the auditory perceptual system.”
