Multisensory Processes: A Balancing Act across the Lifespan (2016, background): “As infants grow and as they acquire increasingly greater experience with their native world, they gradually cease binding non-native multisensory inputs and bind only native ones [30,31] (Figure 2A).”
Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, methodology): “To answer this question, Pons et al. (2009) also tested monolingual English- and Spanish-speaking adults with a similar procedure except that the adults were asked to indicate which of the two visible syllables corresponded to an immediately preceding presentation of one or the other audible…”
A Bilingual Advantage in Visual Language Discrimination in Infancy (2012, background): “Perceptual narrowing occurs not only for heard speech but also for the correlated visual-articulatory phonemes (Pons et al., 2009).”
Intersensory Perception at Birth: Newborns Match Nonhuman Primate Faces and Voices. (2010, background): “When they are considered together with available evidence of intersensory perceptual narrowing (Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2006; Lewkowicz et al., 2008; Pons et al., 2009), the current findings suggest that as infants accumulate selective experience with the faces and vocalizations of their own…”
Perceptual beginnings to language acquisition (2018, background): “Yet young Spanish infants will look preferentially to a picture of a face articulation of /va/ or /ba/ when hearing the matching syllable, but stop doing so by 9–10 months of age (Pons et al., 2009).”
Recognition of Amodal Language Identity Emerges in Infancy (2013, background): “…prior studies have demonstrated that 6-month-old infants can perform this type of cross-modal transfer in an audiovisual speech perception task (Pons et al., 2009), and that young infants can detect various types of multisensory relations including those inherent in audiovisual speech (Kuhl &…”
Critical periods in speech perception: new directions. (2015, background): “Spanish-learning infants match heard and seen /ba/ and /va/ at 6 months but not at 10 months of age (Pons et al. 2009).”
Infants deploy selective attention to the mouth of a talking face when learning speech (2012, background): “Prior studies have shown that young infants can perceive native as well as nonnative audible and visible speech attributes and that they can integrate them but that older infants can only perceive and integrate native ones (34, 45, 49).”
Bilingualism Modulates Infants' Selective Attention to the Mouth of a Talking Face (2015, methodology): “For this comparison, we examined responsiveness to each test language separately, because responsiveness to native versus nonnative languages begins to differ early in infancy (Lewkowicz, 2014; Lewkowicz & Hansen-Tift, 2012; Pons et al., 2009; Werker & Tees, 2005).”
