The relationship between mismatch response and the acoustic change complex in normal hearing infants

The importance of exposure to quality spoken language during the first year of life has been highlighted in studies of normal hearing (NH) infants and toddlers (Kuhl, 1991; Strange and Jenkins, 1978; Werker and Tees, 1984) and in studies of the later implications of this exposure on word learning and syntactic abilities (Graf Estes et al., 2007; van Leeuwen et al., 2008; Mueller et al., 2012). Research in infants with hearing loss (HL) has shown improved language outcomes when infants are fit with amplification and enrolled in early intervention by six months of age (Yoshinaga-Itano et al., 1998).
