Mismatch negativity (MMN) elicited by changes in phoneme length: A cross-linguistic study
Speech sounds representing different phonetic categories are typically easier to discriminate
than sounds belonging to the same category. This phenomenon is referred to as the …

Training the brain to weight speech cues differently: A study of Finnish second-language users of English
Foreign-language learning is a prime example of a task that entails perceptual learning.
The correct comprehension of foreign-language speech requires the correct recognition of …

Predictive coding of phonological rules in auditory cortex: A mismatch negativity study
S Ylinen, M Huuskonen, K Mikkola, E Saure… - Brain and language, 2016 - Elsevier
The brain is constantly generating predictions of future sensory input to enable efficient
adaptation. In the auditory domain, this applies also to the processing of speech. Here we aimed …

Predictive coding accelerates word recognition and learning in the early stages of language development
The ability to predict future events in the environment and learn from them is a fundamental
component of adaptive behavior across species. Here we propose that inferring predictions …

Establishing neural representations for new word forms in 12-month-old infants
During the first year of life, infants start to learn the lexicon of their native language. Word
learning includes the establishment of longer-term representations for the phonological form …

Two distinct auditory-motor circuits for monitoring speech production as revealed by content-specific suppression of auditory cortex
Speech production, both overt and covert, down-regulates the activation of auditory cortex.
This is thought to be due to forward prediction of the sensory consequences of speech, …

Effects of prosodic familiarity on the automatic processing of words in the human brain
We aimed to determine the effect of prosodic familiarity on automatic word processing in the
brain by comparing the mismatch negativity (MMN) components of the event-related brain …

The perception of phonological quantity based on durational cues by native speakers, second-language users and nonspeakers of Finnish
Some languages, such as Finnish, use speech-sound duration as the primary cue for a
phonological quantity distinction. For second-language (L2) learners, quantity is often difficult to …

[HTML][HTML] Diminished brain responses to second-language words are linked with native-language literacy skills in dyslexia
Dyslexia is characterized by poor reading skills, yet often also difficulties in second-language
learning. The differences between native- and second-language speech processing and …

Modulation of the mismatch negativity (MMN) to vowel duration changes in native speakers of Finnish and German as a result of language experience
While crucial for phoneme distinctions in the Finnish language, mere vowel duration is of
lower relevance as a phonetically distinctive cue in the German language. To investigate the …
