Abstract
ABSTRACT
Speech is an extensively overlearned oromotor behaviour that becomes more automatised over the years due to the storage of their motor routines. To determine when this storage occurs in development, the EEG/ERP spatiotemporal dynamics underlying speech-motor planning were investigated in three groups: children, adolescents and adults. The production of speech was contrasted to sounded non-speech gestures that use the same effectors as speech but are not as frequently trained. Non-speech motor codes are assumed to be individually planned on the go, instead of being stored as motor routines. Neural results revealed a gradual differentiation between speech and non-speech motor planning with age: while ERPs did not differ in children, adolescents and adults showed gradually increasing differences in amplitudes and in topographies between speech and non-speech. This suggest that the speech motor code storage is not completely established yet in 7–9-year-old children but later during development, in early adolescence.
期刊介绍:
Language, Cognition and Neuroscience (formerly titled Language and Cognitive Processes) publishes high-quality papers taking an interdisciplinary approach to the study of brain and language, and promotes studies that integrate cognitive theoretical accounts of language and its neural bases. We publish both high quality, theoretically-motivated cognitive behavioural studies of language function, and papers which integrate cognitive theoretical accounts of language with its neurobiological foundations.
The study of language function from a cognitive neuroscience perspective has attracted intensive research interest over the last 20 years, and the development of neuroscience methodologies has significantly broadened the empirical scope of all language research. Both hemodynamic imaging and electrophysiological approaches provide new perspectives on the representation and processing of language, and place important constraints on the development of theoretical accounts of language function and its neurobiological context.
