  1. ncbi Identifying cortical lateralization of speech processing in infants using near-infrared spectroscopy
    Heather Bortfeld
    Department of Psychology, Texas A and M University, College Station, Texas 77843, USA
    Dev Neuropsychol 34:52-65. 2009
    ..These findings are consistent with those obtained using other neurophysiological methods and point to the utility of NIRS as a means of establishing neural correlates of language development in older (and more active) infants...
  2. ncbi Assessing infants' cortical response to speech using near-infrared spectroscopy
    Heather Bortfeld
    Department of Psychology, Texas A and M University, 4235 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843, USA
    Neuroimage 34:407-15. 2007
    ..In particular, these findings support the use of NIRS to study the neurobiology of language development in older infants, a task that is difficult to accomplish without the use of attention-getting visual stimuli...
  3. ncbi Hemodynamic response to featural changes in the occipital and inferior temporal cortex in infants: a preliminary methodological exploration
    Teresa Wilcox
    Department of Psychology, Texas A and M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA
    Dev Sci 11:361-70. 2008
    ..These data were discussed in terms of (a) what they suggest about the neural basis of feature processing in infants and (b) the viability of using NIRS to study brain-behavior relations in infants...
  4. ncbi Using near-infrared spectroscopy to assess neural activation during object processing in infants
    Teresa Wilcox
    Texas A and M University, Psychology Department, MS 4235 TAMU, College Station, Texas 77843, USA
    J Biomed Opt 10:11010. 2005
    ..The outcome has important implications for research in cognitive development, developmental neuroscience, and optical imaging...
  5. ncbi Comprehending idioms cross-linguistically
    Heather Bortfeld
    Department of Psychology, Texas A and M University, College Station, TX, USA
    Exp Psychol 50:217-30. 2003
    ..Results support arguments for a continuum of analyzability (Bortfeld & McGlone, 2001), along which figurative speech ranges from reflecting general conceptual structures to specific cultural and historical references...
  6. ncbi Hemodynamic changes in the infant cortex during the processing of featural and spatiotemporal information
    Teresa Wilcox
    Texas A and M University, United States
    Neuropsychologia 47:657-62. 2009
    ..The outcome of this experiment reveals early functional specialization of temporal cortex and lays the foundation for future investigation of the maturation of object processing pathways in humans...
  7. ncbi Linking behavioral and neurophysiological indicators of perceptual tuning to language
    Eswen Fava
    Department of Psychology, Texas A and M University College Station, TX, USA

  8. ncbi Mommy and me: familiar names help launch babies into speech-stream segmentation
    Heather Bortfeld
    Department of Psychology, Texas A and M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA
    Psychol Sci 16:298-304. 2005
    ..Young infants have a powerful aid available to them for cracking the speech code. Their emerging familiarity with particular words, such as their own and other people's names, can provide initial anchors in the speech stream...
  9. ncbi Optical imaging of phonological processing in two distinct orthographies
    Hsin Chin Chen
    Department of Psychology, National Chung Cheng University, 168 University Rd, Ming Hsiung Chia Yi, Taiwan
    Exp Brain Res 184:427-33. 2008
    ..Results thus support previous findings using fMRI and suggest that different neural mappings arise depending on whether an individual has learned to process written language using an alphabetic or logographic script...
  10. ncbi Assessment of infant brain development with frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy
    Maria Angela Franceschini
    Athinoula A Martinos Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, Massachusetts 02129, USA
