![]() ![]() ![]() The results indicate that neural processing of changes in rise time is present at seven months, supporting the possibility that early speech processing is facilitated by neural sensitivity to these important acoustic cues. The MMR over right fronto-central electrodes was sensitive to the size of the difference in rise time. At eleven months, there was a shift to a mismatch negativity (MMN) that was more pronounced over left fronto-central electrodes. The MMR was more positive at seven than eleven months of age. We found that infants exhibited a mismatch response (MMR) to all of the oddball rise times used for the study. Using an ERP paradigm, here we examined for the first time whether infants at the ages of seven and eleven months exhibit an auditory mismatch response to changes in the rise times of simple repeating auditory stimuli. Amplitude rise times also play a mechanistic role in neural entrainment to the speech amplitude envelope. ![]() Amplitude rise times play a crucial role in the perception of rhythm in speech, and reduced perceptual sensitivity to differences in rise time is related to developmental language difficulties. ![]()
