ST 80 – NEUROBIOLOGY OF EARLY LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

Resumo:

The potential benefit of a special issue on neurobiology of early language development is that this research reveals important constraints on language development processes. Understanding the neural processes that underlie behavior and developmental trajectories is crucial to a range of psycholinguistic hypotheses for how children learn language. These include the ongoing debate between generative and usage-based approaches to language development; the role of input; age-dependent processes of language development; brain maturational aspects that influence how language develops; bilingual language development; and language delays.
