Beyond the 30-Million-Word Gap: Children’s Conversational Exposure Is Associated With Language-Related Brain Function:
Rachel R. Romeo,Rachel R. Romeo,Julia A. Leonard,Julia A. Leonard,Sydney T. Robinson,Sydney T. Robinson,Martin R. West,Allyson P. Mackey,Allyson P. Mackey,Allyson P. Mackey,Meredith L. Rowe,John D. E. Gabrieli,John D. E. Gabrieli,John D. E. Gabrieli +13 more
TL;DR: This work provides the first evidence directly relating children’s language environments with neural language processing, specifying both an environmental and a neural mechanism underlying SES disparities in children's language skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resting-State fMRI A Window into Human Brain Plasticity
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the brain’s resting-state functional architecture displays dynamic properties in young adulthood, as well as the hypothesis that resting- state functional connectivity reflects the repeated history of co-activation between brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effects of reasoning and speed training in children.
TL;DR: Counter to widespread belief, these results indicate that both fluid reasoning and processing speed are modifiable by training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurodevelopment of the association cortices: Patterns, mechanisms, and implications for psychopathology.

TL;DR: The human brain undergoes a prolonged period of cortical development that spans multiple decades, conforming to an evolutionarily rooted, sensorimotor-to-association axis of cortical organization as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Language exposure relates to structural neural connectivity in childhood

TL;DR: Young children's real-world language exposure, and specifically the amount of adult-child conversation, correlates with the strength of connectivity in the left hemisphere white matter pathway connecting two canonical language regions, independent of socioeconomic status and the sheer volume of adult speech.
