About the Book

This volume is based on one of the first interdisciplinary meetings to focus on early developmental neurocognition. It has now been clearly established that human infants process complex events such as faces and speech sounds quite early in their life. The crucial problem nowadays is to elucidate how these competences emerge and develop: what kinds of mechanisms are involved that make information processing systems both so specific and so adaptive to the relevant biological signals, how the interactions with the environmental inputs contribute to the neuronal functional organization, to the onset and changes in competences, and how the various successive changes in infants' abilities and competences relate to each other. These are some of the questions addressed in the present volume: they constitute major challenges to neurobiologists, neuropsychologists, psychologists and linguists. Not only is human cognitive development a fascinating and important issue per se, it is also crucial to understanding the neurobiological mechanisms involved in adult competences. The meeting on which this volume was based was held in July 1992. It brought together some outstanding international specialists in the relevant scientific fields in a spirit of interdisciplinary exchange. Their contributions cover the latest research on these topics and include some exciting new conceptual advances.

Table of Contents:
The roles of experience in different developmental information stage processes.- The relevance of primate corticogenesis for understanding the emergence of cognitive abilities in man.- Synaptogenesis in the prefrontal cortex of the Macaque.- Maturation of synapses and gaba-immunoreactive neurons in the perinatal human visual cortex.- Dendritic structure and language development.- Development of brain substrates for pattern recognition in primates: physiological and connectional studies of inferior temporal cortex in infant monkeys.- Functional mapping of the human brain.- Mechanisms in infant face processing.- Specific vs non-specific face recognition device.- Neonatal synesthesia: Implications for the processing of speech and faces.- Visual perceptual abilities at birth: Implications for face perception.- Cortical parcellation and the development of face processing.- Hemispheric differences in face processing and brain maturation.- The origins of differential hemispheric strategies for information processing in the relationships between voice and face perception.- Infant sensitivity to perturbations in adult facial, vocal, tactile and contingent stimulation during face-to-face interactions.- The recognition of facial expressions in infancy: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence.- Frontal function in cognitive and emotional behaviors during infancy: effects of maturation and experience.- Why faces are special to infants — On connecting the attraction of faces and infants’ ability for imitation and cross-modal processing.- Sometimes it pays to look back before you leap ahead.- Speech stimuli in the fetal environment.- Infants’ perception of speech units: primary representation capacities.- Innate predispositions and the effects of experience in speechperception: the native language magnet theory.- The ontogeny and developmental significance of language-specific phonetic perception.- Emergence of language-specific constraints in perception of non-native speech: a window on early phonological development.- Segmentation of fluent speech into words: learning models and the role of maternal input.- The role of the face in vocal learning and the development of spoken language.- Sonority theory and syllable pattern as keys to sensory-motor-cognitive interactions in infant vocal development.- Motor explanations of babbling and early speech patterns.- Ontogeny of language-specific syllabic productions.- On the ontogenetic requirements for early language acquisition.- The acquisition of prosody: evidence from French- and English-learning infants.- Phonetic systems and phonological development.- The construction of a phonological system.- Connectionist modeling and the microstructure of phonological development: A progress report.- Developmental changes in the acquisition of phonology.- Development of language relevant processing systems: the emergence of a cognitive module.- Some theoretical implications of cross-modal research in speech perception.- Author Index.
