Does early motor development contribute to speech perception?

Abstract

At the end of the target article, Keven and Akins put forward a challenge to the developmental psychology community to consider the development of complex psychological processes, in particular intermodal infant perception, across different levels of analysis. We take up that challenge, and consider the possibility that early emerging stereotypies might help explain the foundations of the link between speech perception and speech production.
