Brain Mechanisms in Early Language Acquisition
The last decade has produced an explosion in neuroscience research examining young children's early processing of language. Noninvasive, safe functional brain measurements have now been proven feasible for use with children starting at birth. The phonetic level of language is especially accessible to experimental studies that document the innate state and the effect of learning on the brain. Th...
متن کاملSocial Mechanisms in Early Language Acquisition: Understanding Integrated Brain Systems Supporting Language
This chapter advances a new hypothesis-that in the earliest phases of language acquisition. infants combine a powerful set of domain-general computational skills with their equally extraordinary social skills to "crack the speech code." Further. it is hypothesized that the social brain-in ways we have yet to understand-"gates" the computational mechanisms underlying learning in the domain of la...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Brain Networks Underlying Language Acquisition in Early Infancy
A critical issue in human development is that of whether the language-related areas in the left frontal and temporal regions work as a functional network in preverbal infants. Here, we used 94-channel near-infrared spectroscopy to reveal the functional networks in the brains of sleeping 3-month-old infants with and without presenting speech sounds. During the first 3 min, we measured spontaneou...
متن کاملMechanisms of Language Acquisition
Mechanisms of language acquisition have mostly been studied in isolation. Here, we review behavioral and imaging evidence concerning the role and the operation of three such mechanisms: statistical learning, rule extraction and perceptual primitives. Statistical learning is a general learning mechanism, found in animals, adults and infants, that tracks the distributional and statistical informa...
متن کاملTheories of early language acquisition.
What features of brain processing and neural development support linguistic development in young children? To what extent is the profile and timing of linguistic development in young children determined by a pre-ordained genetic programme? Does the environment play a crucial role in determining the patterns of change observed in children growing up? Recent experimental, neuroimaging and computa...
