A time sharing cross-sectional study of monolinguals and bilinguals at different levels of second language acquisition.

abstract：:Many studies have shown that infants prefer infant-directed (ID) speech to adult-directed (AD) speech. ID speech functions to aid language learning, obtain and/or maintain an infant's attention, and create emotional communication between the infant and caregiver. We examined psychophysiological responses to ID speech ...
