In French (Duez, 2007), stops like/b,k/last 77–112 ms; fricatives like/v,s/80–128 ms; sonorants like/m,j/55–65 ms; vowels between 72 and 121 ms.
Range computed over average word length in English, Japanese, Italian, French (Pellegrino et al., 2007).
Based on average vowel duration (see footnote a).
Based on average sentence duration in Childes in French and Japanese.
Table 5.
Main findings of the adult and infant literature review carried out in previous sections. As evident, no single hypothesis covers all of the evidence.
| Finding | Signal-driven | Domain-driven | Learning bias | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adults: slow signals activate more LH if linguistically contrastive | − | + | + |
| 2 | Adults: language mode activates more LH (task effects) | + | + | |
| 3 | Adults: sign language activates more LH | + | + | |
| 4 | Adults: LH involvement proportional to proficiency | − | − | + |
| 5 | Adults: FL contrast elicits RH if slow, LH if fast | + | − | |
| 6 | Newborns: LI vs non-speech only in LH in the absence of extensive experience | + | − | |
| 7 | Infants: slow signals activate more RH | + | ||
| 8 | Infants: L-dominance increases with development and experience | − | − | + |
