Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Jacques Mehler focuses on Linguistics, Speech perception, Language development, First language and Cognitive psychology. His studies in Linguistics integrate themes in fields like Speech processing and Psycholinguistics. Jacques Mehler interconnects Syllable and Right hemisphere in the investigation of issues within Speech perception.

His research investigates the connection between Language development and topics such as Language acquisition that intersect with problems in Control and Cognitive science. His First language study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Foreign language, Communication and Rhythm. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neuroscience of multilingualism, Numeral system, Cognition, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Multilingualism.

His most cited work include:

  • A precursor of language acquisition in young infants. (1043 citations)
  • Correlates of linguistic rhythm in the speech signal (863 citations)
  • Language Discrimination by Newborns: Toward an Understanding of the Role of Rhythm (646 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Jacques Mehler mainly focuses on Linguistics, Cognitive psychology, Language acquisition, Speech perception and Speech recognition. His studies deal with areas such as Speech processing, Perception and Psycholinguistics as well as Linguistics. His Cognitive psychology study deals with Cognition intersecting with Cognitive science and Contrast.

He combines subjects such as Developmental linguistics, Word order, Word recognition, Language development and Prosody with his study of Language acquisition. Jacques Mehler has researched Speech perception in several fields, including Neuroscience of multilingualism, Phonetics, Audiology and First language. The Speech recognition study combines topics in areas such as Segmentation, Word, Text segmentation and Task.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Linguistics (45.77%)
  • Cognitive psychology (22.89%)
  • Language acquisition (19.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Language acquisition (19.90%)
  • Linguistics (45.77%)
  • Cognitive psychology (22.89%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Language acquisition, Linguistics, Cognitive psychology, Speech perception and Speech recognition. His Language acquisition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Developmental linguistics, Audiology, Word recognition, Language development and First language. His Linguistics research incorporates elements of Perception, Word lists by frequency and Natural language processing.

His studies in Cognitive psychology integrate themes in fields like Cognitive development, Cognition, Neuroscience of multilingualism, Communication and Cognitive science. Jacques Mehler combines subjects such as Verbal learning, Phonetics, Human brain, Artificial grammar learning and Novelty with his study of Speech perception. His Speech recognition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Segmentation, Text segmentation and Task.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Cognitive gains in 7-month-old bilingual infants. (425 citations)
  • The neonate brain detects speech structure (306 citations)
  • Near-infrared spectroscopy: a report from the McDonnell infant methodology consortium. (232 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Linguistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary scientific interests are in Linguistics, Language acquisition, Cognitive psychology, Language development and Speech perception. His Linguistics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Natural language processing, Artificial intelligence and Text segmentation. Within one scientific family, Jacques Mehler focuses on topics pertaining to First language under Language acquisition, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Audiology and Grammar.

Jacques Mehler studied Cognitive psychology and Neuroscience of multilingualism that intersect with Multilingualism. Jacques Mehler has included themes like Vocabulary and Cognitive science in his Language development study. His work carried out in the field of Speech perception brings together such families of science as Memorization, Word, Human brain, Vowel and Novelty.
