1. Speech perception, phonological sensitivity, and articulation in early vocabulary development
Sammanfattning : Speech perception, articulation, and word learning are three major tiers of language development in young children, integrating perceptual and productive language abilities. Infant speech perception precedes speech production and is the basis for native language learning. LÄS MER
2. The acquisition of contrast : a longitudinal investigation of initial s+plosive cluster development in Swedish children
Sammanfattning : This Thesis explores the development of word-initial s+plosive consonant clusters in the speech of Swedish children between the ages of 1;6 and 4;6. Development in the word-initial consonant clusters is viewed as being determined by 1) the children’s ability to articulate the target sequence of consonants, 2) the level of understanding of which acoustic features in the adult model production are significant for the signalling of the intended distinction, and 3) the children’s ability to apply established production patterns only to productions where the acquired feature agrees with the adult target, to achieve a contrast between rival output forms.

3. Brain anatomical correlates of perceptual phonological proficiency and language learning aptitude
Sammanfattning : The present dissertation concerns how brain tissue properties reflect proficiency in two aspects of language use: the ability to use tonal cues on word stems to predict how words will end and the aptitude for learning foreign languages. While it is known that people differ in their language abilities and that damage to brain tissue cause loss of cognitive functions, it is largely unknown if differences in language proficiencies correlate with differences in brain structure.

4. Mapping prosody onto the lexicon : Memory traces for lexically specified prosodic information in the brain
Sammanfattning : Lexical access, the matching of auditory information onto lexical representations in the brain, is a crucial component of online language processing. To understand the nature of lexical access, it is important to identify the kind of acoustic information that is stored in the long-term memory and to study how the brain uses such information.

5. Neural correlates of irrelevant speech
Sammanfattning : The irrelevant speech effect refers to a reduction in the immediate serial recall of lists of presented items when irrelevant auditory material is presented together with the items to be memorized. The ability to ignore irrelevant distractors is vital in increasingly demanding work environments and the capability to keep information in and out of mind is central in human information processing.
