• Language background shapes third-party communication expectations in 14-month-old infants

  Colomer, Marc; Sebastián-Gallés, Núria (Elsevier, 2020)

  Infants expect native and non-native speech to communicate, i.e. to transfer information between third-parties. Here, we explored if infants understand that communication depends on the use of shared conventional systems ...
• Non-human animals detect the rhythmic structure of a familiar tune

  Celma Miralles, Alexandre, 1991-; Toro Soto, Juan Manuel, 1976- (Springer, 2020)
