    • Brain regions and functional interactions supporting early word recognition in the face of input variability 
      Benavides Varela, Silvia; Siugzdaite, Roma; Gómez, David Maximiliano; Macagno, Francesco; Cattarossi, Luigi; Mehler, Jacques (National Academy of Sciences, 2017)
      Perception and cognition in infants have been traditionally investigated using habituation paradigms, assuming that babies' memories in laboratory contexts are best constructed after numerous repetitions of the very same ...
    • Memory in the neonate brain 
      Benavides-Varela, Silvia; Gómez, David M.; Macagno, Francesco; Bion, Ricardo A H; Peretz, Isabelle; Mehler, Jacques (2011)
      Background: The capacity to memorize speech sounds is crucial for language acquisition. Newborn human infants can discriminate phonetic contrasts and extract rhythm, prosodic information, and simple regularities from speech. ...
    • Statistical speech segmentation in tone languages: the role of lexical tones 
      Gómez, David M.; Mok, Peggy; Ordin, Mikhail; Mehler, Jacques; Nespor, Marina (Sage Publications, 2018)
      Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation of speech based on transitional ...
    • Studying neonates' language and memory capacities with functional near-infrared spectroscopy 
      Benavides-Varela, Silvia; Gómez, David M.; Mehler, Jacques (2011)
      The measurement of newborns' brain hemodynamic activity has improved our understanding of early cognitive processes, in particular of language acquisition. In this paper, we describe two experimental protocols adapted to ...
