For studies with infants, the participant will sit on the parent\u2019s lap or close to the parent at all times. The tasks consist in watching pictures or movies on a television monitor while listening to words or sounds. The participant is videotaped and the information is analyzed at a later time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;PARTICIPA&#8221; color=&#8221;info&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bounceIn&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ub.edu%2FAPAL%2F%3Fpage_id%3D235%26lang%3Den|||&#8221;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;3&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1571997345362-d82eeb5c-3c97-0&#8243; include=&#8221;68,69,67,59&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;] Our research Our research focuses on the study of infant speech perception abilities, attention development and early language acquisition processes, both in normally developing infants (monolingual and bilingual) and in infants at risk for language and neurocognitive disorders.
