Infant-directed speech from seven to nineteen months has similar acoustic properties but different functions
This longitudinal study assessed three acoustic components of maternal infant-directed
speech (IDS)–pitch, affect, and vowel hyperarticulation–in relation to infants' age and their …

The complexity‐aesthetics relationship for musical rhythm is more fixed than flexible: Evidence from children and expert dancers
The urge to move to music (groove) depends in part on rhythmic syncopation in the music.
For adults, the syncopation‐groove relationship has an inverted‐U shape: listeners want to …

Rapid gains in segmenting fluent speech when words match the rhythmic unit: evidence from infants acquiring syllable-timed languages
The ability to extract word-forms from sentential contexts represents an initial step in infants'
process toward lexical acquisition. By age 6 months the ability is just emerging and …
