Early in the first year of life, infants demonstrate broad abilities for discriminating among faces and speech. These discrimination abilities then become tuned to frequently experienced groups of people or languages. This process of perceptual development occurs between approximately 6 and 12 months of age and is largely shaped by experience. However, the mechanisms underlying perceptual development during this time, and whether they are shared across domains, remain largely unknown. Here, we highlight research findings across domains and propose a top-down/bottom-up processing approach as a guide for future research. It is hypothesized that perceptual narrowing and tuning in development is the result of a shift from primarily bottom-up processing to a combination of bottom-up and top-down influences. In addition, we propose word learning as an important top-down factor that shapes tuning in both the speech and face domains, leading to similar observed developmental trajectories across modalities. Importantly, we suggest that perceptual narrowing/tuning is the result of multiple interacting factors and not explained by the development of a single mechanism.Publication Selected Management Approaches To Central Auditory Processing Disorders(1999) Musiek, FE; Baran, JA; Schochat, EPublication Impact Of Cochlear Implantation On Speech Understanding, Depression, And Loneliness In The Elderly(2008-01-01) Poissant, SF; Beaudoin, F; Huang, JY; Brodsky, J; Lee, DJPublication Acoustic And Perceptual Appraisal Of Speech Production In Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users(2006-01-01) Poissant, SF; Peters, KA; Robb, MPPublication Cochlear Implantation In A Patient With Neurofibromatosis Type 1 And Profound Hearing Loss: Evidence To Support A Cochlear Site Of Lesion(2003-01-01) Poissant, SF; Megerian, CA; Hume, DPublication Effect Of Danazol On Vocal Pitch - A Case-study(1985) Mercaitis, PA; Peaper, RE; Schwartz, PAPublication Effects Of Source-to-listener Distance And Masking On Perception Of Cochlear Implant Processed Speech In Reverberant Rooms(2009-01-01) Whitmal, NA; Poissant, SFPublication Comparison Of The Performances Of A Fluent And A Nonfluent Aphasic On A Pantomimic Referential Task(1984) Duffy, RJ; Duffy, JR; Mercaitis, PAPublication A Predictive Model Of Cochlear Implant Performance In Postlingually Deafened Adults(2009-01-01) Roditi, RE; Poissant, SF; Bero, EM; Lee, DJPublication Neural Mechanisms Underlying Learning Following Semantic Mediation Treatment In A Case Of Phonologic Alexia(2008-01-01) Kurland, J; Cortes, CR; Wilke, M; Sperling, AJ; Lott, SN; Tagamets, MA; VanMeter, J; Friedman, RBPublication Publication Aging And Consonant Errors In Reverberation And Noise(1991) Helfer, KS; Huntley, RAPublication Central Deafness: An Audiological Case Study(2007-01-01) Musiek, FE; Baran, JA; Shinn, JB; Guenette, L; Zaidan, E; Weihing, JPublication Speech Recognition And Temporal Processing In Middle-aged Women(2009-01-01) Helfer, KS; Vargo, MPublication Gin (gaps-in-noise) Test Performance In Subjects With Confirmed Central Auditory Nervous System Involvement(2005-01-01) Musiek, FE; Shinn, JB; Jirsa, R; Bamiou, DE; Baran, JA; Zaidan, EPublication Effect Of Click Rate And Delay On Breakdown Of The Precedence Effect(1989) Clifton, RK; Freyman, RLPublication Listeners Expectations About Echoes Can Raise Or Lower Echo Threshold(1994) Clifton, RK; Freyman, RL; Litovsky, RY; Mccall, D
