At whole-nonword level scoring, on the language-specific, High-Lexicality nonwords, MonDLD scored significantly below MonTD and L2-TD groups which did not differ significantly from each other. At syllable-level scoring, the same pattern of group differentiation was found on quasi-universal nonwords. These findings provide evidence from a typologically distinct and understudied language that NWR tasks can capture significant TD/DLD group differences, even for L2-Cantonese TD children with reduced language experience.

The goal of this study was to examine whether early brain lateralization contributes to skill development within the speech-language domain. To achieve this goal, 25 infants (2–13 months old) underwent behavioral language examination and fMRI during sleep while listening to forward and backward speech, and then were assessed on various language skills at 55–69 months old. We observed that infant functional lateralization of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) for forward > backward speech was associated with phonological, vocabulary, and expressive language skills 4 to 5 years later. However, we failed to observe that infant language skills or the anatomical lateralization of STG were related to subsequent language skills. Overall, our findings suggest that infant functional lateralization of STG for speech perception may scaffold subsequent language acquisition, supporting the hypothesis that functional hemisphere asymmetries are advantageous.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55330,"journal":{"name":"Brain and Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142228495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While listeners vary in their ability to recognize degraded speech, performance improves when a written transcription is presented, allowing completion of the partial sensory pattern to preexisting representations. Building on work characterizing predictive processing as pattern completion, we examined the relationship between domain-general pattern recognition and individual variation in degraded speech learning. Participants completed a visual pattern recognition task to measure individual-level tendency towards pattern completion. Participants were also trained to recognize noise-vocoded speech with written transcriptions and tested on speech recognition pre- and post-training using a retrieval-based transcription task. Listeners significantly improved in recognizing speech after training, and pattern completion on the visual task predicted improvement for novel items.
