  • Plasticity in older infants' perception of phonetic contrasts

    Open AccessRobin Panneton, Wendy L Ostroff et al.ARTICLEInfancy2025

    Developmental plasticity refers to conditions and circumstances that increase phenotypic variability. In infancy, plasticity expands and contracts depending on domains of functioning, developmental history, and timing. In terms of language processing, infants attend to and discriminate both native and non‐native phonetic contrasts, but selectively attune to their native phonemes by the end of the first postnatal year. However, relevant studies ha…

  • Positive Valence Contributes to Hyperarticulation in Maternal Speech to Infants and Puppies

    Open AccessRobin Panneton, Alejandrina Cristia et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2023

    Infant-directed speech often has hyperarticulated features, such as point vowels whose formants are further apart than in adult-directed speech. This increased "vowel space" may reflect the caretaker's effort to speak more clearly to infants, thus benefiting language processing. However, hyperarticulation may also result from more positive valence (e.g., speaking with positive vocal emotion) often found in mothers' speech to infants. This study w…

  • Quantifying Sources of Variability in Infancy Research Using the Infant-Directed-Speech Preference

    Open AccessMichael C Frank, Katie Alcock et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Methods and Practices…2020

    Psychological scientists have become increasingly concerned with issues related to methodology and replicability, and infancy researchers in particular face specific challenges related to replicability: For example, high-powered studies are difficult to conduct, testing conditions vary across labs, and different labs have access to different infant populations. Addressing these concerns, we report on a large-scale, multisite study aimed at (a) as…

  • A Collaborative Approach to Infant Research

    Open AccessMichael C Frank, Elika Bergelson et al.ARTICLEInfancy2017

    The ideal of scientific progress is that we accumulate measurements and integrate these into theory, but recent discussion of replicability issues has cast doubt on whether psychological research conforms to this model. Developmental research—especially with infant participants—also has discipline‐specific replicability challenges, including small samples and limited measurement methods. Inspired by collaborative replication efforts in cognitive …

  • Bimodal Dynamics of Faces and Voices Influence Older Infants' Perception of Emotion

    Open AccessAlison Heck, Alison R Heck et al.ARTICLEInfancy2016

    Given the importance of infants' perception of bimodal speech for emerging language and emotion development, this study used eye‐tracking technology to examine infants' attention to face+voice displays differing by emotion (fear, sad, happy) and visual stimulus (dynamic versus static). Peripheral distracters were presented to measure attention disengagement. It was predicted that infants would look longer at and disengage more slowly from dynamic…

  • A Missed Opportunity for Clarity

    Open AccessLaura Mills‐Smith, Derek P Spangler et al.ARTICLEInfancy2015

    Several years ago, the American Psychological Association began requiring that effect size estimates be reported to provide a better indication of the associative strength between factors and dependent measures in empirical studies ( Publication manual of the American Psychological Association , 2010, Author, Washington, DC). Accordingly, developmental journals require/strongly recommend effect size estimates be included in published work. Potent…

  • Separable Attentional Predictors of Language Outcome

    Open AccessBrenda Salley, Robin Panneton et al.ARTICLEInfancy2013

    The aim of this study was to examine the combined influences of infants' attention and use of social cues in the prediction of their language outcomes. This longitudinal study measured infants' visual attention on a distractibility task (11 months), joint attention (14 months), and language outcomes (word–object association, 14 months; MBCDI vocabulary size and multi‐word productions at 18 months of age). Path analyses were conducted for two diff…

  • Infants’ Discrimination of Familiar and Unfamiliar Accents in Speech

    Open AccessJoseph Butler, Caroline Floccia et al.ARTICLEInfancy2011

    This study investigates infants' discrimination abilities for familiar and unfamiliar regional English accents. Using a variation of the head-turn preference procedure, 5-month-old infants demonstrated that they were able to distinguish between their own South-West English accent and an unfamiliar Welsh English accent. However, this distinction was not seen when two unfamiliar accents (Welsh English and Scottish English) were presented to the inf…

  • Four-Month-Olds' Discrimination of Voice Changes in Multimodal Displays as a Function of Discrimination Protocol

    Open AccessJason S McCartney, Jason McCartney et al.ARTICLEInfancy2005

    Past studies have found equivocal support for the ability of young infants to discriminate infant-directed (ID) speech information in the presence of auditory-only versus auditory + visual displays (faces + voices). Generally, younger infants appear to have more difficulty discriminating a change in the vocal properties of ID speech when they are accompanied by faces. Forty 4-month-old infants were tested using either an infant-controlled habitua…
