“…For example, individuals exhibit sensitivity to sound-symbolic crossmodal associations as early as four months of age (Ozturk et al, 2013), and recent studies have suggested that sound symbolism is important for specific word-to-meaning associations in young children with limited vocabularies (Gasser, 2004;Tzeng, Nygaard, & Namy, 2017). In adults, sound symbolism may offer linguistic processing advantages for categorization and word learning, particularly for larger vocabularies (Brand et al, 2018;Gasser, 2004;Revill et al, 2018). Though most of the evidence supporting sound symbolism has consisted of behavioral studies, more recently neuroimaging studies have begun to reveal the neural correlates of this phenomenon (Revill et al, 2014;McCormick et al, 2018;Peiffer-Smadja & Cohen, 2019).…”
