Thrilled to share our work on speech timing in autism: we found right-hemispheric white matter pathways in the brain associated with speech timing in autistic children. Grateful to @kdvsn14.bsky.social for her dedication to this project, and @htagerf.bsky.social for supporting this collaboration.

Whale vocalizations not only resemble human vowels, but also behave like ones! We previously discovered that sperm whales have analogues to human vowels. In a new preprint, we analyze linguistic behavior of whale vowels.

Excited that this publication is out now, led by Dr Kate Radville, and an amazing team. Parents need more information about DLD and in this paper we elevate their voices 🎉

Our work on speech timing & white matter organization in autistic and non-autistic children is out in JSHLR. Thankful for the research team on this project! @jenniferzuk.bsky.social @talialiu.bsky.social @neurotyler.bsky.social @htagerf.bsky.social @qzhever.bsky.social pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...

HELP! GaabLab has been supporting the #Dyslexia community since 2007. Now we could really use YOUR help due to recent funding cuts that threaten our lab's existence: We're looking for supportive foundations & collaborations, very grateful for any small gift community.alumni.harvard.edu/give/51711873

Honored to be mentioned alongside scholars I admire: @naomicaselli.bsky.social, Padden, Mayberry, Chen Pichler, and more! www.science.org/content/arti... "Imperfect sounds: Cochlear implants give deaf kids unprecedented access to sound. But insisting they avoid using sign language may be risky."

Our new paper, co-first authored with J. Zuk, in JSLHR found relationships between maternal oral reading prosody and language skills among late and typical talkers. My dissertation work takes a deeper dive into these relationships at the preschool age...coming soon! pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...

📢 Children's word #reading skills are linked to the number of books at home and mother-child reading activities—even after accounting for parental reading skills as a proxy for genetic influences. 🧬📚 🔗 Read more: doi.org/10.1111/jcpp... 🧵👇1/6

Let me know if you have further questions! Here is a link to the author's manuscript I host on my site: mjmarte.github.io/manuscripts/... :)

When young children have problems pronouncing words accurately, should we be worried? Our new meta-analysis open access in @ashajournals.bsky.social focuses on that pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...

our paper on intelligibility and speaking rate. rate, intelligibility and age are all correlated so i work through the effect of rate on intelligibility in a few different analyses

Just did a calculation of our lab's time from project conception to publication (e-pub) over the past x years. We're averaging 3.5 years from the first idea to acceptance. About 6-9 months of this is review time. Don't know how typical this is but good reality check esp. for trainees.
