A Bilingual Advantage in Visual Language Discrimination in Infancy (2012, background): “Thus, sensitivity to VOT might be a very relevant, visually available cue for French-English bilinguals (Burns et al., 2007), but it is not so for Spanish-Catalan bilinguals. Another example involves differences in salient lip shape. Compared with English, French has more lip rounding and less inter”
Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “If anything, it is more similar to word learning than to speech perception, a process that rests on different perceptual and cognitive processes than phonological development (Burns et al., 2007).”
Critical periods in speech perception: new directions. (2015, background): “Infants who grow up bilingual ultimately narrow on to two sets of phonemic categories, one for each of their languages (Burns et al. 2007).”
Brief daily exposures to Asian females reverses perceptual narrowing for Asian faces in Caucasian infants (2012, unknown): “In addition, infants exposed to multiple languages maintain phonetic representations relevant to each language (Burns et al., 2007).”
