Age of Acquisition Modulates Alpha Power During Bilingual Speech Comprehension in Noise

Author(s): Grant AM; Kousaie S; Coulter K; Gilbert AC; Baum SR; Gracco V; Titone D; Klein D; Phillips NA;

Research on bilingualism has grown exponentially in recent years. However, the comprehension of speech in noise, given the ubiquity of both bilingualism and noisy environments, has seen only limited focus. Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies in monolinguals show an increase in alpha power when lis ...

White matter correlates of sensorimotor synchronization in persistent developmental stuttering

Author(s): Jossinger S; Sares A; Zislis A; Sury D; Gracco V; Ben-Shachar M;

Introduction: Individuals with persistent developmental stuttering display deficits in aligning motor actions to external cues (i.e., sensorimotor synchronization). Diffusion imaging studies point to stuttering-associated differences in dorsal, not ventral, white matter pathways, and in the cerebellar peduncles. Here, we studied microstructural white matt ...

Factors Associated with Speech-Recognition Performance in School-Aged Children with Cochlear Implants and Early Auditory-Verbal Intervention

Author(s): Wolfe J; Deroche M; Neumann S; Hanna L; Towler W; Wilson C; Bien AG; Miller S; Schafer EC; Gracco V;

<strong>Background:</strong> Considerable variability exists in the speech recognition abilities achieved by children with cochlear implants (CIs) due to varying demographic and performance variables including language abilities.

<strong>Purpose:</strong> This ar ...

Earlier age of second language learning induces more robust speech encoding in the auditory brainstem in adults, independent of amount of language exposure during early childhood

Author(s): Giroud N; Baum SR; Gilbert AC; Phillips NA; Gracco V;

Learning a second language (L2) at a young age is a driving factor of functional neuroplasticity in the auditory brainstem. To date, it remains unclear whether these effects remain stable until adulthood and to what degree the amount of exposure to the L2 in early childhood might affect their outcome. We compared three groups of adult English-French bilin ...

Language learning experience and mastering the challenges of perceiving speech in noise

Author(s): Kousaie S; Baum S; Phillips NA; Gracco V; Titone D; Chen JK; Chai XJ; Klein D;

Given the ubiquity of noisy environments and increasing globalization, the necessity to perceive speech in noise in a non-native language is common and necessary for successful communication. In the current investigation, bilingual individuals who learned their non-native language at different ages underwent magnetic resonance imaging while listening to s ...
