| summary | The first three years of life yield dramatic advances in language development. Yet the changes in language-relevant brain systems that precede, accompany or follow these achievements are not well understood. I will present a series of event-related potential studies in typically developing infants 6-months to 2 years of age showing how the experience of learning language shapes the organization of brain activity linked to vocabulary development. Additionally, I will examine how language-specific, social, and domain-general cognitive processes and their development, influence changes in the organization of brain activity for communicative functions. |
