Maturational constraints on tracking of temporal attention in infant language acquisition.

Tineke M. Snijders,
Katharina Menn

Abstract: Children are active learners: they selectively attend to important information. Rhythmic neural tracking of speech is central to active language learning. This chapter evaluates recent research showing that neural oscillations in the infant brain synchronise with the rhythm of speech, tracking it at different frequencies. This process predicts word segmentation and later language abilities. We argue that rhythmic neural speech tracking reflects infants’ attention to specific parts of the speech signal (e.g., s… Show more
