摘要: This study examined how maturation and the size of deviance affect the development of mismatch responses to Mandarin lexical tones by a multi-deviant oddball paradigm with both large deviant T1/T3 and small deviant T2/T3 pairs in newborns and 6-month-olds. The T1/T3 pair elicited a positive mismatch response (P-MMR) at birth but an adult-like mismatch negativity (MMN) at 6 months of age. For the T2/T3 pair, no significant MMR was seen in newborns, whereas a P-MMR was found when infants are 6 months old. Results suggest that the developmental trajectories of MMRs are dependent on the neural maturation and the discriminability of tonal changes. 其他題名: Dev Neuropsychol 出版者: England: Psychology Press 出版日期: 2013-07-01 出處: Developmental neuropsychology, 2013-07, Vol.38 (5), p.281-300 資源來源: Taylor & Francis Journals Auto-Holdings Collection 版權: Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 2013 版權: Copyright Psychology Press 2013 識別號: ISSN: 8756-5641 識別號: ISSN: 1532-6942 識別號: EISSN: 1532-6942 識別號: DOI: 10.1080/87565641.2013.799672 識別號: PMID: 23862633 識別號: CODEN: DENEE8
