In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this observational study is to investigate early neural mechanisms underlying the processing of spoken language, specifically the phenomenon of cortical tracking, and to determine whether these mechanisms can serve as early predictors of later language development outcomes in infants, including both typical and atypical trajectories. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How do infants with and without a familial history of language and learning impairments differ in their neural ability to track speech and non-speech auditory stimuli at an early stage of development (around 8 months of age)? * To what extent do early cortical tracking mechanisms predict later language abilities, including both receptive and expressive skills, measured at approximately 18 months of age? Researchers will compare infants with a familial risk for language and learning impairments (FH+) t
