DOI: 10.1017/s0305000921000969
Abstract: It is often assumed that pre-schoolers learn a second language (L2) with ease, even for structures that are absent in their L1, such as Mandarin-speaking pre-schoolers learning L2 English grammatical inflections (e.g., ducks, horses). However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/aud.0000000000001341
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Although pitch reception poses a great challenge for individuals with cochlear implants (CIs), formal auditory training (e.g., high variability phonetic training [HVPT]) has been shown to provide direct benefits in pitch-related perceptual performances such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/4576729
Abstract: Music perception in cochlear implant (CI) users is far from satisfactory, not only because of the technological limitations of current CI devices but also due to the neurophysiological alterations that generally accompany deafness. Early behavioral… read more here.

Pre-attentive fundamental frequency processing in Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implants as revealed by the peak latency of positive mismatch response
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2022.1045939
Abstract: Introduction Fundamental frequency (F0) serves as the primary acoustic cue for Mandarin tone perception. Recent behavioral studies suggest that F0 information may be differently processed between Mandarin-speaking normal-hearing (NH) children and children with cochlear implants… read more here.
