Perception of native vs. non-native language and non-speech sounds in one-week-old neonates: An fNIRS study
The newborn brain can perceive various speech and non-speech stimuli, demonstrating a preference for native language stimuli, followed by music. The ability to perceive non-native languages, animal calls, and noise appears more limited. These findings could provide some references for future research on infant and toddler language development.
