Taking Care: A GloCal Service-Learning Experience with Teacher and Parent Education in Northeast Brazil
This article analyses a GloCal Service-Learning experience conducted by a student from the University of Padova, during a 5-month mobility period in Brazil. The experience involved conducting educational meetings for in-service teachers and parents of children in conditions of high social vulnerability in the city of Juazeiro, Bahia. The meetings aimed to raise awareness about the importance of fostering healthy and psychologically stimulating en…
Linking vestibular, tactile, and somatosensory rhythm perception to language development in infancy
First experiences with rhythm occur in the womb, with different rhythmic sources being available to the human fetus. Among sensory modalities, vestibular, tactile, and somatosensory perception plays a crucial role in early processing. However, a limited number of studies so far have specifically focused on VTS rhythms in language development. The present work investigated VTS rhythmic abilities and their role in language acquisition through two e…
Interconnected Pathways: Postural Stability and Vocabulary Skills in Preschool-Aged Children
Previous research has highlighted an interplay between postural abilities and linguistic skills during infancy. However, this relationship could undergo further radical transformations in other periods of development. This current study explored a plausible network of relationships among postural abilities and vocabulary skills in a substantial cohort (N = 222) of preschoolers aged between 2 and 5 years-a developmental phase critical for refining…
An Integrated Perspective on Spatio-Temporal Attention and Infant Language Acquisition
Efficiency in the early ability to switch attention toward competing visual stimuli (spatial attention) may be linked to future ability to detect rapid acoustic changes in linguistic stimuli (temporal attention). To test this hypothesis, we compared individual performances in the same cohort of Italian-learning infants in two separate tasks: (i) an overlap task, measuring disengagement efficiency for visual stimuli at 4 months (Experiment 1), and…
The role of prosody in infants’ preference for speech: A comparison between speech and birdsong
Speech preferences emerge very early in infancy, pointing to a special status for speech in auditory processing and a crucial role of prosody in driving infant preferences. Recent theoretical models suggest that infant auditory perception may initially encompass a broad range of human and nonhuman vocalizations, then tune in to relevant sounds for the acquisition of species‐specific communication sounds. However, little is known about sound prope…
Object-based visual attention in 8-month-old infants: Evidence from an eye-tracking study
Visual attention is one of the infant's primary tools for gathering relevant information from the environment for further processing and learning. The space-based component of visual attention in infants has been widely investigated; however, the object-based component of visual attention has received scarce interest. This scarcity is surprising, given the importance of objects in driving infants' attention and predispositions to attend to object…
The Role of Perceptual Skills in Newborns' Perception of Partly Occluded Objects
This study explored whether the reported inability of newborns to perceive object unity could result from the limited abilities of newborns to recognize the correspondence between 2 stimuli that were identical except for the presence or absence of an occluder. Five experiments were carried out using a visual habituation technique. The results of Experiment 1 indicated that newborns were capable of recognizing the perceptual correspondence between…
