Plasticity after perceptual narrowing for voice perception: Reinstating the ability to discriminate monkeys by their voices at 12 months of age by Rayna H Friendly, Drew eRendall, Laurel J Trainor, Laurel J Trainor

“…In a previous study, we demonstrated that the ability to discriminate individuals by voice follows a pattern of perceptual narrowing (Friendly, et al., in press). Specifically, we found that the ability to discriminate between two foreign-species (rhesus monkey) voices decreased significantly between 6 and 12 months of age. …”

Heterochrony and cross-species intersensory matching by infant vervet monkeys. by Shahin Zangenehpour, Asif A Ghazanfar, David J Lewkowicz, Robert J Zatorre

“…Human infants have been shown to undergo a process of perceptual narrowing during their first year of life, whereby their intersensory ability to match the faces and voices of another species declines as they get older. …”

Bimodal Stimuli Do Not Always Facilitate Infants' Rule Learning by Sin Mei Tsui, Chia-Huei Tseng

“…It is unclear what leads to the failure of rule learning from bimodal stimuli, but possible explanations including perceptual narrowing in the inter-sensory integration and the difference in sensory representation of abstract rules with different difficulties are discussed.…”

The Development of Attentional Biases for Faces in Infancy: A Developmental Systems Perspective by Greg D. Reynolds, Kelly C. Roth

“…The role of experience and the process of perceptual narrowing in face processing are examined as infants begin to demonstrate enhanced behavioral and neural responsiveness to mother over stranger, female over male, own- over other-race, and native over non-native faces. …”

“…The infancy literature situates the perceptual narrowing of speech sounds at around 10 months of age, but little is known about the mechanisms that influence individual differences in this developmental milestone. …”
